Mendel's model of inheritance
Based on his results (including that magic 3:13:1 ratio), Mendel came up with a model for the inheritance of individual characteristics, such as flower color.
In Mendel's model, parents pass along “heritable factors," which we now call genes, that determine the traits of the offspring. Each individual has two copies of a given gene, such as the gene for seed color (Y gene) shown below. If these copies represent different versions, or alleles, of the gene, one allele—the dominant one—may hide the other allele—the recessive one. For seed color, the dominant yellow allele Y hides the recessive green allele y.
The set of alleles carried by an organism is known as its genotype. Genotype determines phenotype, an organism's observable features. When an organism has two copies of the same allele (say, YYor yy), it is said to be homozygous for that gene. If, instead, it has two different copies (like Yy), we can say it is heterozygous. Phenotype can also be affected by the environment in many real-life cases, though this did not have an impact on Mendel's work
