Question

the study of heredity began with, who is known as the \father of genetics.\ he discovered that traits are inherited through factors we call, which are different forms of a gene. the genetic makeup of an organism, called its, determines its physical traits, or when an organism has two identical alleles for a trait, it is described as. if it has two different alleles, it is. some traits are controlled by alleles, which overshadow alleles in heterozygous individuals. some traits show, such as a cow with both red and white hair appearing as patches, where both alleles are fully expressed. in contrast, results in a blend of traits, like a pink flower produced from a red and white flower cross.

Explanation:

• Mendel is known as the "Father of Genetics" for his work on heredity.
• Alleles are different forms of a gene.
• Genotype is the genetic makeup, and phenotype is the physical trait.
• Homozygous means two identical alleles; heterozygous means two different alleles.
• Dominant alleles overshadow recessive ones.
• Codominance shows both alleles fully (like cow hair).
• Incomplete dominance blends traits (like pink flower).

Answer:

Mendel, alleles, genotype, phenotype, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive, codominance, incomplete dominance
