The resulting offspring from a cross between two different types of parents.

Segment of DNA that codes for a single protein or RNA. Controls what characteristics are expressed.

Variants of a specific gene.

The allele that is expressed as long as a dominant allele is present.

The allele that is expressed as long as no dominant alleles are present.

Mendel’s first law of inheritance. The law states that there are two factors controlling a given characteristic in which one dominates the other. These factors separate during reproduction and go to different gametes, or a mature reproductive cell th

Mendel’s second law of inheritance. The factors controlling the different characteristics are inherited separately and therefore are not related. Big

a model where the offspring would have a mix of characteristics that the parents have. This model did not explain some of Mendel’s observations.
