Gregor Mendel was an Austrian scientist who gained posthumous fame as the founder of genetics. Through experiments breeding pea plants over many generations, Mendel discovered that inherited traits are transmitted from parents to offspring in predictable patterns. He found that traits show up in offspring without blending of parent characteristics, and segregate in a way that can be predicted mathematically. Mendel's work laid the foundation for the modern science of genetics, though the significance of his findings was not recognized until years after his death.

2. GENETIC TRANSMISSION
 is the transfer of genetic information from genes to
another generation (from parent to offspring), almost
synonymous with heredity, or from one location in a
cell to another.

4. GREGOR JOHANN MENDEL
(JULY 20, 1822 – JANUARY 6, 1884)
 Was an Austrian scientist and Augustinian friar
who gained posthumous fame as the founder of
the new science of genetics. Mendel
demonstrated that the inheritance of
certain traits in pea plants follows particular
patterns, now referred to as the laws
of Mendelian inheritance. Although the
significance of Mendel's work was not
recognized until the turn of the 20th century,
the independent rediscovery of these laws
formed the foundation of the modern science of
genetics.

5. •Through the selective cross-breeding of common
pea plants (Pisum Sativum) over many generations,
Mendel discovered that certain traits show up in
offspring without any blending of parent
characteristics.

8. AHYBRID is a combination of
two (or more) breeds,
whereas a PURE BREED (Pure-
blood) is where both parents are
of the same breed to produce an
offspring of the same breed.

9.  Dominant – A trait that shows up more
often.
 Recessive – A trait that shows up less
often.
 Homozygous – refers to having
identical alleles for a single trait.
 Heterozygous - refers to having two
different alleles for a single trait.

10. Law of Independent Assortment
•Allele segregate/ separate independent to
each other.

11. Law of Segregation
“The gene pair segregate/ separate in the
formation of a zygote”
