Learning about Heredity

Gregor Mendel is the father of pollinationgeneticsfertilizationgenerationsSelect your answer. He was curious why sisters and brothershybridsgenerationsgeneticsSelect your answer don’t look alike. Mendel traced how traits were passed from parent brothersseedpeapollinationSelect your answer plants to their offspring. Peas grow quickly, so he could observe hundreds of generationsresultshybridspollinationSelect your answer. These large numbers helped Mendel obtain accurate resultshybridspollinationgeneticsSelect your answer in his experiments. He studied pollinationfertilizationgenerationsgeneticsSelect your answer, where pollen grains are transferred from the male to female part of the plant. Male and female sex cells join in a process called pollinationgeneticsfertilizationhybridsSelect your answer. The single cell develops into a(n)fertilizationpeaseedhybridsSelect your answer. Mendel crossed tall and short plants to create offspring that were hybridsseedpeabrothersSelect your answer. The resulting plants were tall, which he called the dominanthybridspollinationpeaSelect your answer trait.
