Describe the experimental protocols of Gregor Mendel, the results of his experiments and what these results implied about the nature of genes. Include in your answer:

1. a description of Garden Pea flower structure, natural pollination, and the mechanism Mendel used to cross Garden Peas 
2. A definition of each of the following terms: genotype & phenotype; dominant, recessive, and co-dominant; homozygous and heterozygous; segregation and recombination 
3. The results of (1) crossing a heterozygous, red-flowered plant with a homozygous, white-flowered plant and the results of (2) crossing two heterozygous, red-flowered plants and (3) how Mendel's crosses provided evidence for the principles of segregation and recombination
