Mendelian principle explaining that because each plant has two different alleles, it can produce two different types of gametes. During fertilization, male and female gametes randomly pair to produce four combination of alleles
when there are two identical alleles for a trait
passing on of characteristics from parents to offspring
outward appearance of an organism, regardless of its genes
characteristic that is inherited; can be either dominant or recessive
branch of biology that studies heredity
from male reproductive organs to female reproductive organs of plants, usually within the same species
exchange of genetic material between nonsister chromatids from homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis; results in new allele combinations
Mendelian principle stating that genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other
alternative forms of a gene for each variation of a trait of an organism
