1. Gregor Mendel: Augustinian monk, physicist, and botanist who
studied pea plants in the 1850s
2. Phenotypes of pea plants (Mendel):: - stem height
- flower color
- contrasting seed shapes
- pod shapes
- flower positions
3. Publishing of Gregor Mendel's works: - published in 1866
- not recognized until next century
4. Pea plants as an experimental model:: - each plant was true
breeding - easy to breed/grow
- easy to cross-breed
- self fertilizing

5. True-breeding:: term used to describe organisms that
produce offspring identical to themselves if allowed to self-fertilize
6. monohybrid cross: A cross between individuals that
involves one pair of contrasting traits
7. Selfed: self-fertilized
8. P1: - parental generation
- first generation that can be traced in origin
9. F1: First filial generation (first set of offspring from the
parents)
10. F2: Second filial generation
11. Tall pea plant gene:: When Mendel crossed the tall plants
with the dwarf plants, the first generation of plants produced (the
F1 generation) only consisted of tall plants. In the second
generation, about 75% of the plants were tall, while 25% of them
were dwarf. So, the tall plants were produced about 3 times more
than the short ones. In fact, for every trait that Mendel observed,
the same ratios were produced; the first generation (F1) plant
