2. HOMOZYGOUS DOMINANT  Having a pair of dominant alleles at a gene locus on homologous chromosomes; e.g. AA HOMOZYGOUS RECESSIVE  Having a pair of recessive alleges at a gene locus on homologous chromosomes; e.g. Aa

3. HETEROZYGOUS  Refers to a pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive.  Having nonidentical alleles at a given gene locus on a pair of homologous chromosomes. GENETICS GENERATIONS

4. PUNNETT-SQUARE A simple was to predict the probable outcomes of a genetic cross by constructing and filling in a diagram of all possible combinations of genotype, phenotype, or both PROBABILITY  The odds that each outcome of an event will occur is proportional to the total number of was in which that outcome can be reached

5. THE HISTORY OF GREGOR MENDEL Gregor Mendel was born July 22th 1822. 1833 Mendel is sent to secondary school. 1841 mendel attends the philosophical Institute of the university of Olmutz 1843 Mendel joins the Augustinian order at the St. Thomas Monastery. 1850 Mendel fails the oral portion of his teacher exam. 1851 Mendel continues his study of science. 1853 Mendel returns to the abbey. 1854 Mendel starts his famous experiments. 1856 Mendel cultivates and tests pea plants (1856-1863) 1865 Mendel establishes Meteorological Society February 8 1866 Mendel presents his findings 1867 Mendel becomes abbot of the monastery January 6 th 1884 Mendel dies

6. THE PROCESS OF CROSS POLLINATION Pollen from the male organ of the flower or plant is transferred to the female organ of the same plant or another. Either transferred by bugs, animals, wind or other…

7. SCIENTIFIC METHOD  1. Ask a question: He thought how traits passed from one generation to another.  2. Form a hypothesis: His hypothesis was "Each plat has two factors for a trait, one from each parent.  3. Test hypothesis: He grew pea plants to see what will happen.  4. Make and record observations: He discovered that one factor alone doesn't determine the expression of the trait in the pea plant.  5. Conclusion: Traits in pea plants are inherited from the parent pea plants.
