In this lesson, we will be learning about Gregor Mendel’s laws of heredity. The organism on which Mendel experimented was Pisum sativum, the pea plant. To better understand his experiments, you need to understand how flowering plants reproduce, meiosis, and the chromosomal basis of heredity. Below are some activities to check your background knowledge. If you do well, you may continue with the lesson. If one or two of the activities are not easy for you, you may want to explore the background links provided. Good luck!
