and CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS ALREADY
GRADED A+
recessive gene - CORRECT ANSWER-Gene that is hidden when the dominant
gene is present
Mendel's monohybrid F1 gene - CORRECT ANSWER-showed only one parental
trait
Mendel's monohybrid F2 gene - CORRECT ANSWER-showed a 3:1 ratio of two
parental traits
what theory was suggested by Mendel's monohybrid - CORRECT ANSWER-
Particulate theory of inheritance
particulate - CORRECT ANSWER-chromosome
Loss of Function alleles - CORRECT ANSWER-defective copies of genes
,usually inherited recessively
Mendel unknowingly used these in his studies
Mendel's "factors" are now called - CORRECT ANSWER-genes
Theory of Pangenesis - CORRECT ANSWER-Hippocrates, all parts of body make
seeds that are collected and transmitted to offspring
Spermists - CORRECT ANSWER-a tiny human called a homunculuc in a sperm.
Father entirely responsible for inheritance. Resemblence to mom comes from
womb influences
Ovists - CORRECT ANSWER-Mom's egg entirely responsible for inheritance.
Sperm only stimulates egg to develop.
Blending Theory of Inheritance - CORRECT ANSWER-Factors that dictate
inheritance blend together from generation to generation.
Father of genetics - CORRECT ANSWER-Gregor Mendel
,academic background - CORRECT ANSWER-Physics and natural history. Grew
up grafting trees

for 34 years
Hermaphrodite - CORRECT ANSWER-a plant or animal that has reproductive
organs normally associated with both male and female genders
Why garden peas? - CORRECT ANSWER-existed in several varieties with
distinct characterics
Its sturcture allowed for easy crosses where the parents could be controlled
anther - CORRECT ANSWER-contains pollen, where the male gametes are
produced
Endosperm - CORRECT ANSWER-food for the developing embryo
Mendels two types of crosses - CORRECT ANSWER-- Self fertilization
- Cross Fertilization
, self-fertilization - CORRECT ANSWER-Pollen and egg are derived from same
plant
Cross-fertilization - CORRECT ANSWER-Pollen and egg are derived from
different plants
Hybridization - CORRECT ANSWER-the mating or crossing between two
individuals that have different characteristics
Hybrids - CORRECT ANSWER-offspring that result from a hybridization mating
Characters/traits - CORRECT ANSWER-the morphological characteristics of an
organism are termed
true-breeder - CORRECT ANSWER-a variety that produces the same trait over
several generations
