QuestionAnswer
he study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics. genetics
______ an egg, female animal, or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote. fertilization
a specific, observable characteristic or feature of an organism trait
the offspring resulting from the interbreeding of two different species, subspecies, or genetically distinct populations hybrids
an animal or plant whose ancestors are of the same recognized breed or variety over many generations, ensuring consistent inherited traits purebreds
the basic physical and functional unit of heredity, composed of specific DNA sequences located on chromosomes genes
a variant form of a specific gene located at a particular position on a chromosome alleles
in a heterozygote, one allele will conceal the presence of another allele for the same characteristic principle of dominance
the separation of paired alleles (gene variants) or homologous chromosomes during meiosis to form unique reproductive cells segregation
specialized haploid sex cells (sperm in males, ova/eggs in females) produced through meiosis gametes
the measure of the likelihood that a specific genetic, cellular, or ecological event will occur, probability
having two identical versions (alleles) of a specific gene, one inherited from each biological parent. homozygous
an individual having two different alleles (variants) for a specific gene, inheriting one distinct allele from each parent heterozygous
the set of observable characteristics, traits, or physical properties of an organism phenotype
the specific genetic makeup or DNA sequence of an organism, representing the precise alleles inherited at a particular gene locus genotype
used to predict the probability of genotypes and phenotypes in offspring from a genetic cross punnett square
a fundamental genetic principle stating that alleles of different genes segregate into gametes independently of one another during meiosis I independent assortment
a form of non-Mendelian inheritance where neither allele is completely dominant over the other, resulting in a heterozygous phenotype that is an intermediate blend of the two homozygous phenotypes incomplete dominace
a genetic inheritance pattern where two different alleles of a single gene are both independently and equally expressed in an individual's phenotype. condominace
the existence of three or more different versions (alleles) of a single gene within a population, rather than just the traditional two multiple alleles

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.
