13. Latin word for daughter.
14. In this process, plants reproduce using their pollen and pistil.
16. Mendel is often referred to as this.
17. In the F2 generation, the _____form of the trait always reappeared.
18. A trait that is hidden whenever the dominant allele is present.
19. The passing of physical characteristics from parents to offspring.
20. In the F2 generation about 3/4 of the plants had this characteristic.
21. Each different form of a characteristic such as stem height, or seed color is called this.

1. This monk is responsible for developing an experiment using pea plants to observe genetics.
2. A dominant allele is represented by this type of letter.
3. An organism that has two different alleles for a trait.
4. In this process, plants reproduce by taking pollen from a different plant.
5. The offsprings of many generations that have the same trait.
6. In all of Mendel's crosses only _____form of the trait appeared in the F1 generation.
9. A recessive allele is represent by this type of letter.
10. A trait that always shows up in the organisms when then allele is present.
12. Latin word for son.
