    Genetics and Plant Breeding Question Bank

    Uploaded by

    Vivek Ponnusamy
    This section discusses genetics and defines key terms. It describes Gregor Mendel as the "father of modern genetics" and explains that genes are transmitted from parents to offspring. It also summarizes the structure and functions of plant cell organelles, such as chloroplasts, mitochondria, and vacuoles. The roles of chromosomes, DNA, mitosis and meiosis in heredity are defined. Crossing over and recombination that occur during meiosis are noted.
