By the way i am a student at the university of Florida, majoring in criminal law and my second major is Biology.
I just do not want to sound like a smart ass but here are my notes that i took in class that where on 1Note which is where i got my info to back up my claim

? Every Living thing has characteristics from there parent.
? Genetics- Scientific study of heredity

Gregor mendels Peas
? Born in Austria in 1822
? In charge of monastery garden
? Worked with ordinary garden pea
? He new:
? Flowers produce pollen(contains male fertilization cell)
? Female part produce eggs
? Fertilization produce embryo encased with a seed
? Pea flowers are self pollinated(single parent)
? True breeding plants were basics for his experiment
? Tall plants
? Short Plants
? Greed seeds
? Yellow seeds
? Wanted to produce seeds by joining male and female reproductive cells from 2 different plants- Cross pollination
? Genes and Dominance
? Studied 7 different variables
? "Original" parent= P generation
? First offspring called- F1 generation
? Offspring of parents with different characteristics are Hybrids
? Filius and Filia are Latin words for son and daughter
? He drew 2 conclusions
? Genes
- Each different trait are called allele ( tall, short green, yellow)
? The principle of Dominance- some alleys are dominant and some are recessive
- Dominant always win when present
? Where did the recessive traits go?
? Allowed F1 Gen. To self pollinate making G2 Gen.
? The Result!
? Recessive Trait reappeared!
? Explanations :
? Segregation
? When each f1 plant flowers and produce gametes(sex cells)
? 2 alleles segregation from each other
? Each gamete carries caries a single copy of each gene
? Each F1 plant produces 2 types of gametes
