• Mendel worked with peas that have both female and male parts; stamens and carpels.
• He cross-pollinated the pure-breeding pea plants by his own.
• The fertilised gametes become seeds and the seeds are planted.
• He selects the simple and distinguishable traits such as the colour of flowers, the stem length, seed shape, seed colour, colour of pods, pod shape and the position of flowers.
• He found out that the first generation of offsprings carries the same trait as parents.
• The experiments become a stepping stone in the study of inheritance.

• Occupy specific positions in chromosomes.

• Alternate forms of the same gene occupying on the same positions on a certain pair of chromosomes.

• Observable/measurable character.

• Combination of alleles carried by the organism.

• Manifested in the appearance of the phenotype.

• Appears in the phenotype if it does not pair with the dominant allele.

• Both alleles at a given pair of loci are the same.
• Example: homozygous dominant (TT) and homozygous recessive (tt).

• The alleles at a given pair of loci are the different.
• Example: heterozygous dominant (Tt).

• Studies of a pair of contrasting traits of a character.
• The original parents denote as P generation.
• The result of the parental cross appeared as the F1 generation.
• The plants of F1 generation allowed to cross-pollinate to produce the F2 generation.

A characteristic of an organism is controlled by a pair of alleles and only one of the allelic pair is inherited in a gamete.

• A characteristic inherited from a parent to the next generation is determined by a genetic factor,which is known as gene.
• A trait is controlled by a pair of genetic factor known as allele.
• A pair of alleles segregates (separates) randomly during formation of gametes.Only one allele from the pair is found in a sigle gamete.
• During fertillisation,a zygote formed possesses two alleles (one allele from ecah parenr) for a specific characteristics.
• Fertilisation is random. Genotypic combination which is homozygous dominant shows dominant trait whereas ,homozygous reccesive shows reccesive trait. Heterozygous genotype (combination of one dominant allele and one reccesive allele) shows dominant trait.
