| Gregor Mendel | Father of Genetics |
| P Generation | Parent generation in genetics experiment |
| F-1 generation | 1st filial son/daughters of P generation |
| F-2 | 2nd filial sons/daughters of F1, grandkids of P generation |
| Phenotype | physical appearance, the traits you see |
| Probability | the likelihood a trait will get passed on on show |
| Cross-pollinate | pollen from one plant pollinates another with different traits |
| Egg | female sex cells (gametes) has half the chromosones |
| female part of plant | pistil |
| sperm | male sex cell (gamete), has half chromosones |
| heredity | passing of traits from one generation to next |
| trait | a characteristic caused by genes being passed down |
| genetics | the study of heredity |
| fertilization | egg and sperm join to make a new organism with a whole set of chromosones |
| purebred | the offspring of many generations that have the same trait |
| gene | chunk of a chromosone that controls a trait |
| alleles | different variations of a gene |
| dominant allele | always sins to show in phenotype (appears) |
| recessive allele | only shows in phenotype when paired with another recessive (no dominant allele) |
| hybrid | cross of two different alleles |
