both alleles code for the same form of a gene

2
New cards

heterozygous

alleles code for different forms of a gene

3

4
New cards

what did Gregor Mendel work on

pea plants because they were good for genetic study

5
New cards

why are pea plants good for genetic studies

  • they are diploid

  • many of their traits consist of 2 alleles

  • can use either self-fertilization or cross-fertilization

  • true breeders: when self-fertilizing, they always produce offspring with the same trait

6
New cards

phenotype

organism’s physical makeup

  • ex: 2 purple, 1 white

7
New cards

genotype

organism’s genetic makeup

  • ex: BB, Bb, bb
