- experiments in breeding garden peas led to his eventual recognition as founder of the science of genetics
- dominant
- the one of a pair of alternative alleles that masks the effect of the other when both are present in the same cell or organism
- parental generation
- parental generation, two individuals are mated or crossed to determine or predict the genotypes of their offspring
- traits
- A genetically determined characteristic or condition
- PHENOTYPE
- the observable constitution of an organism
- f2 generation
- the offspring of the f1 GENERATION when the f1 GENERATION is selfpollinated or when two individuals from the f1 GENERATION are crossed
- hybrid

- cross pollination
- the transfer of pollen from the flower of one plant to the flower of a plant having a different genetic constitution
- f1 generation
- the hybrid offspring produced in the cross pollination

- self pollination
- the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower
