∦WHAT IS MENDEL'S EXPERIMENT?∦

1. When Mendel measured two or more characteristics  in an experiment, he found that each trait was transmitted independently.
2. For example, tall or short plants can have smooth or wrinkled seeds.
3. Gregor studied seven traits of the pea plant: seed color, seed shape, flower position, flower color, pod shape, pod color, and the stem length.

∦DOMINANT/RECESSIVE TRAITS∦

• Dominant and recessive traits exist when a trait has two different forms at the gene level.
• The trait that first appears or is visibly expressed in the organism is called the dominant trait.
• The trait that is present at the gene level but is masked and does not show itself in the organism is called the recessive trait.
