Biology with Physiology Chapter 11

QuestionAnswer
cross-pollinate In plant breeding, the transfer of pollen from the anther of one plant to the stigma of another.
genotype The genetic makeup of an organism, including all the genes that lie along its chromosomes.
phenotype A physical function, bodily characteristic, or behavior of an organism.
allele One of the alternative forms of a single gene. In pea plants, a single gene codes for seed color, and it comes in two alleles-one codes for yellow seeds, the other for green seeds.
dominant Term used to designate an allele that is expressed in the heterozygous condition.
heterozygous Possessing two different alleles of a gene for a given character.
homozygous Having two identical alleles of a gene for a given character.
Law of Segregation Differing characters in organisms result from two genetic elements (alleles) that separate in gamete formation, such that each gamete gets only one of the two alleles. Also known as Mendel's First Law, this is one of the principles of inheritance formula
recessive Term used to designate an allele that is not expressed in the heterozygous condition.
Law of Independent Assortment During gamete formation, gene pairs assort independently of one another. Also known as Mendel's Second Law, this is one of the principles of inheritance formulated by Gregor Mendel.
multiple alleles Three or more alleles – alternative forms of a gene – occurring in a population.
polygenic inheritance Inheritance of a genetic character that is determined by the interaction of multiple genes, with each gene having a small additive effect on the character.
bell curve A distribution of values that is symmetrically largest around the average.

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.
