Mendel’s peas always seemed to show two forms of a trait, so he concluded that the ____ that governed these traits occurred in _____.
Factors, pairs
Your gene pairs are carried on _____ pairs of _____.
Homologous, chromosomes
When he crossed tall plants with short plants and the F1 all came out tall, he concluded that the gene for tall was _____ and the gene for short was _____.
Dominate, recessive
Because of the way ratios came out in the offspring, Mendel concluded that his pairs of factors must be _____ when _____ were formed.
Split, chromosomes
We now call the way ratios come out in the offspring his Principle of _____ and know that is occurs during _____ when pairs of ______ get split up.
Segregation, meiosis, chromosomes
Mendel’s Principle of ______ Assortment says that gene pairs are _________ of each other so that different gametes can be formed depending on the way that _______ line up in meiosis.
Independent, independent, homologous pairs
A _____ is a section of a chromosome that governs a single trait.
Gene
A gene carried on one chromosome matches the gene carried on the homologous chromosome, because both of these genes govern the same trait, they are called _______.
Homologous
Mendel’s pea plants produced either smooth or wrinkled peas. If smooth is dominant to wrinkled… S= ______ s=____
Smooth, wrinkled
Both parents are homozygous, one dominate and one recessive. What kind of cross would this make?
Purebred cross
Both parents are heterozygous. What kind of cross would this make?
Monohybrid
