TermDefinition
allele one of two or more different versions of the same gene
dominant allele allele that masks the presence of another allele for the same gene when they occur together in a heterozygote
genetics the science of heredity
genotype alleles an individual inherits at a particular genetic locus
heterozygote organism that inherits two different alleles for a given gene
homozygote organism that inherits two alleles of the same type for a given gene
hybrid offspring that results from a cross between two different types of parents
law of independent assortment Mendel’s second law stating that factors controlling different characteristics are inherited independently of each other
law of segregation Mendel’s first law stating that the two factors controlling a characteristic separate and go to different gametes
locus position of a gene on a chromosome
phenotype characteristics of an organism that depend on how the organism’s genotype is expressed
pollen tiny grains that bear the male gametes of seed plants and transfer sperm to female reproductive structures
pollination fertilization in plants in which pollen is transferred to female gametes in an ovary
recessive allele allele that is masked by the presence of another allele for the same gene when they occur together in a heterozygote
codominance relationship between two alleles for the same gene in which both alleles are expressed equally in the phenotype of the heterozygote
incomplete dominance relationship between the alleles for a gene in which one allele is only partly dominant to the other allele so an intermediate phenotype results
polygenic characteristic characteristic, or trait, controlled by more than one gene, each of which may have two or more alleles
probability the likelihood, or chance, than a certain event will occur
Punnett square chart for determining the expected percentages of different genotypes in the offspring of two parents

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
