Mendel's Pea Plants and Genetics

What happened to the green trait in Mendel's pea plants?

• It provide support to Darwin's theory of evolution by disappearing.

• The pea plants produced 50% less green seeds

• It was hidden by the dominant yellow gene

• The resulting plants were yellow/green-ish

How did Mendel refer to the two kinds of traits exhibited by the pea plants (one coming from the father, one from the mother)?

• Gametogenic

• Elective traits

• Alleles

• Sequals

What do we call the result of the genotype (for example, the color of the peas)?

• Visible traits

• Physiotrait

• Genotype 2

• Phenotype

What do we call the table used to calculate the probability of an offspring's genotype?

• Punnett Square

• Venn Diagram

• Avogadro's Graph

• Circle of Life
