| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The scientific study of heredity. | Genetics. |
| The process during sexual reproduction when the sex cells join together. | Fertilization. |
| A specific charecteristic , such as seed color or plant height, of an individual. | Trait. |
| The offspring of crosses between parents with different traits are called... | Hybrids. |
| The factors that are passed from parent to offspring. | Genes. |
| The different forms of a gene. | Alleles. |
| This principle states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive. | The Principle of Dominance. |
| Separation of alleles. | Segregation. |
| Another word for sex cells. | Gametes. |
| The likelihood that a paticular event will occur. | Probability. |
| Organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular gene. | Homozygous. |
| Organisms that have two different alleles for the same gene. | Heterozygous. |
| Physical Traits. | Phenotype. |
| Genetic Make-up. | Genotype. |
| Used to predict the genotype and phenotype combination in genetic crosses. | Punnett Squares. |
| This principle states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. | Independent Assortment. |
| When one allele is not completely dominant over another. | Incomplete Dominance. |
| When the phenotypes produced by both alleles are clearly expressed. | Codominance. |
| A gene with more than two alleles. | Multiple Alleles. |
| Traits controlled by two or more genes. | Polygenic Traits. |
