The Work of Gregor Mendel

3. the part of stamen that contains the pollen
4. gametes Male: Sperm , Female: egg
5. physical traits
7. a set of traits passed down to offspring from their parent or parents
9. make one plant reproduce with another different looking one
11. specific characteristic of an individual (eye color, blood type, hair curliness, etc.)
13. Organisms that have two different alleles for the same gene
14. Organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular gene
16. alleles will only show if a dominant allele isn't present
17. alleles alleles that will always show
18. the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits

1. scientific discipline studying heredity (inheritance)
2. of dominance stating that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive
3. variations of the same gene
6. A process during sexual reproduction, where male and female reproductive cells join to produce a new cell
8. Organism an organism used to study how these processes function, in order to apply the knowledge to other species as well
10. factors that are passed from parent to offspring
12. Separation of alleles
15. genetic makeup
