is the study of genes
Genetics
The results of Mendel’s two-trait experiments led to the
Law of Indepent Assortment
Mendel’s first law

Mendel
The male gametes are released by tiny grains of pollen. The female gametes lie deep within the flowers. Fertilization occurs when pollen from one flower reaches the female gametes in the same or a different flower. This is called
Pollination
He used the term ******* to describe the other factor
Recessive
The different versions are called
Allele
All of the other chromosomes are called
Autosome
The two alleles that an individual inherits make up the individual’s
Genotype
A plant with two different alleles (Bb) is called a
Heterozygote
A plant with two alleles of the same type (BB or bb) is called a
Homozygote
The expression of an organism’s genotype is called its
Phenotype
is a chart that makes it easy to find the possible genotypes in offspring of two parents
Punnett Square
Animals and most plants have two special chromosomes. They are called
Sex Chromesome
Traits controlled by genes on the sex chromosomes are called
Sex-Linked Traits
Treating genetic disorders is one use of
Biotechnology
treat genetic disorders. For example, copies of a normal gene might be inserted into a patient with a defective gene. This is called
Gene Therapy
Modifying an organisms genetics
GMO
are diseases caused by mutations.
Genetic Disorder
consists of all of its genetic information
Genome
was launched in 1990. It was an international effort to sequence all 3 billion bases in human DNA
