Definitions:

Pea Plants

The plants used by Gregor Mendel in his pioneering experiments on genetics, contributing to the foundation of modern genetics.

Law of Segregation

Mendel's first law stating that the two copies of each gene separate during gamete formation, resulting in offspring receiving one allele from each parent.

Allele Pair

Two versions of a gene, one inherited from each parent, that occupy the same position (locus) on homologous chromosomes and determine a specific trait.

Gametes

Reproductive cells (sperm in males and eggs in females) that carry half the genetic information of an individual, forming a new organism when they unite.
