genetic characteristics, which are passed from one generation to the next

occurs when pollen from a flower falls on the stigma of the same flower and ends up fertilizing that same flower's ovules

the transfer of male pollen from the flower of one plant to the flower of a different plant

has the same alleles for a specific trait- an example genotype would be TT. Another way to describe this would be homozygous

Organisms that have the same alleles for the same trait

Organisms that has two different alleles for the same trait

Term	Definition
Traits	genetic characteristics, which are passed from one generation to the next
Self-Pollination	occurs when pollen from a flower falls on the stigma of the same flower and ends up fertilizing that same flower's ovules
Cross-Pollination	the transfer of male pollen from the flower of one plant to the flower of a different plant
Purebred	has the same alleles for a specific trait- an example genotype would be TT. Another way to describe this would be homozygous
Homozygous	Organisms that have the same alleles for the same trait
Heterozygous	Organisms that has two different alleles for the same trait
