Genetics
  1. Heredirty
    1. The set of characteristics that you inherit from your parents e.g. hair colour
    2. The study of hereditry
      1. True-breeding
        1. plants are those that constantly produce offspring the same as the parents for a particular trait
        2. Mendel
          1. The Father of Genetics
            1. Dominant Trait
              1. the trait that appeared in the F1 generation
                1. Recessive Trait
                  1. trait that was masked in F1 and appeared in F2 generation
                2. Gamates
                  1. Reproductive cells e.g ova in females, sperm in males
                    1. Only have half the NUMBER of chromosomes
                      1. Also called haploid cells
                    2. Genes
