Study Notes
Mendel's Experiment
- P Generation: True-breeding parents with purple and white flowers
- F1 Generation: All plants had purple flowers after self- or cross-pollination
- F2 Generation: 705 purple-flowered plants and 224 white-flowered plants
Genetic Vocabulary
- Homozygote: An organism with two identical alleles for a character
- Heterozygote: An organism with two different alleles for a gene
- Homozygous: An organism with two identical alleles for a gene
- Heterozygous: An organism with two different alleles for a gene
Punnett Square
- P Generation: PP (homozygous dominant) and pp (homozygous recessive) parents
- F1 Generation: Pp (heterozygous) offspring with a 1:1 ratio of P and p gametes
- F2 Generation: PP, Pp, and pp genotypes in a 1:2:1 ratio
Independent Assortment
- Hypothesis of Independent Assortment: Alleles of different genes are sorted independently during gamete formation
- Predicted Ratio: 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in the F2 generation
Epistasis
- Epistatic Interactions: Interactions between genes that affect the phenotype
- Modified Ratios: Epistasis can produce modified versions of the 9:3:3:1 ratio
Dihybrid Cross
- BbEe Parents: Heterozygous for two genes, B and E
- F2 Ratio: 9 black : 3 chocolate : 4 yellow labs
- Punnett Square: A 4x4 grid showing all possible genotypes and phenotypes
Polygenic Inheritance
- Quantitative Characters: Traits that vary in the population along a continuum
- Polygenic Inheritance: An additive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotype
- Height: An example of polygenic inheritance, affected by over 180 genes
- Skin Color: Also controlled by many separately inherited genes

Description
This quiz is based on the famous experiment conducted by Gregor Mendel to understand the principles of inheritance. It involves the cross-pollination of pea plants with different traits to study how characteristics are passed down to the next generation.
