Explanation:

The father of genetics is Gregor Mendel

Pea plants are used because they reproduce quickly and eaisly managed and  are simple in their genetics

if something it true breed then they are homozygous for the trait they are. for example a pea plant the is true breed green will have two green alleles.

traits are the characteristics that a person can have

genes are the dna segements that code for your traits

alleles are the different types of genes that you can have such as brown eyes vs blue eyes.

hybrids have both the dominant and recessive trait expressed

a dominant trait is the trait that will be expressed over an recessive allele if the offspring has 1 of the dominant allele. a recessive allele can only be expressed if the offspring has 2 alleles that a recessive.

segregation occurs during prophase 1

probability can tell us how likely a gene is going to be passed down to an offspring

a two factor cross is a punnett square for factors at the same time such as the pea plants color and height

the law of independent assortment is the idea that the inheritance of one type of gene does not influence the other (in gametes)
