Who is the "Father" of genetics? Why?

Learning Intentions

• You can analyze how genotype and phenotype are related to nature vs nuture.

• You can compare the difference between an inherited and acquired trait and which is past down from parents.

• You can define an allele and how to determine if an allele is dominant of recessive, and whether an organism is homozygous or heterozygous for a specific trait.

• You can perform a monohybrid cross using gizmo and a punnett square, and determine the genotypic and phenotypic effect of the cross.

• You can define the following terms: P generation, F₁ generation and F₂ generation
