This document provides definitions and questions about basic genetics concepts introduced by Gregor Mendel like traits, alleles, dominance, and generations. It asks students to define key terms, summarize Mendel's work which established the laws of segregation and independent assortment using pea plant experiments. The document also covers probability and punnett squares, dominant and recessive alleles, and genetic principles like incomplete dominance, codominance, and multiple alleles. Students are asked to demonstrate punnett squares and summarize Mendel's principles.
