Mendel identified the trait of dominance in certain genes.
One of the allels for a trait to it's offspring.
Inheritance Patterns! By studying pea plants, Mendal came up with 4 theories of inheritance patterns: 1) Alternate forms of genes exist 2) 2 genes per trait exist 3) A gamete only carries one allele 4) There is a dominant and a recessive allele
His trait is braveness.
The visible or detectable trait is known as the phenotype.

dominance
Mendel found that certain forms of genes were dominant to other forms of genes. This means that when an organism has two different forms of a gene, one form will be expressed over the other in determining the trait it controls.
Mendel identified the trait of inheritance through his experiments with pea plants, discovering the principles of dominant and recessive traits. He found that certain genes were responsible for specific traits, which were passed down from parents to offspring according to predictable patterns.
Mendel's Law Of Segregation
Hybrid
Mendel believed in the principle of separation. This occurs during the formation of gametes and the pair of genes that control a trait separate.
invisible "factors" - now called genes.
One gene controlled one trait within Mendel's study, but the sickle cell anemia effects more than one trait.
Punnett squares go beyond Mendel's research by allowing for the prediction of inheritance patterns for multiple genes simultaneously. While Mendel focused on the inheritance of one trait at a time, Punnett squares can be used to determine the probabilities of various trait combinations in offspring. This tool enhances our understanding of genetic inheritance by illustrating the complex interactions between different genes.
Non-Mendelian traits are:A trait with no clearly dominant alleleA trait with four allelesA trait controlled by many genes
