Gregor Mendel was the first scientist that study the nature of _______________ in
organism
Mendel cross-bred a pure breed of _____ plant with a pure breed ______plant.
He found that all the first generation offspring (progeny) were all _____. Progeny from
this cross, called the F1 generation (first filial generation).
Then Mendel cross the F1 generation tall plants with one another (_____-_________).
He found that the F2 generation was made up of tall and dwarf plants in the ratio of
________.
It is shown that only the _________ (strong) trait appeared in the F1 generation.
The _____________ (weak) trait is blocked by the strong trait from expressing itself and is
therefore hidden in the F1 generation
