EXCHANGE OF GENETIC MATERIAL BY NON-HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES DURING PROPHASE I |
| dihybrid cross |
FERTILIZATION BETWEEN TWO ORGANIZATIONS TO STUDY TWO DIFFERENT TRAITS. |
| diploid |
A CELL WITH TWO COPIES OF EACH TYPE OF CHROMOSOME. |
| dominant |
THE OBSERVABLE TRAIT OR THE ONE THAT MASKS THE RECESSIVE. |
| egg |
FEMALE GAMETE OR SEX CELL |

STUDY OF HEREDITY |
| genotype |
ORGANISM’S GENETIC COMBINATION |
| haploid |
CELL OF AN ORGANISM THAT HAS HALF THE NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES |
| heredity |
PASSING ON CHARACTERISTICS FROM PARENTS TO OFFSPING. |
| heterozygous |
HAVING NON-IDENTICAL ALLELES FOR A PARTICULAR TRAIT. |
| homologous |
PAIRED IDENTICAL CHROMOSOMES |
| homozygous |
IDENTICAL ALLELES FOR A PARTICULAR TRAIT |
