| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the transmission of genetic characters from parents to offspring: it is dependent upon the segregation and recombination of genes during meiosis and fertilization and results in the genesis of a new individual similar to others of its kind but exhibiting | Heredity |
| the science of heredity, dealing with resemblances and differences of related organisms resulting from the interaction of their genes and the environment. | genetics |
| the offspring of individuals that differ with respect to a particular gene pair. 2. Also called monohybrid cross . a genetic cross made to examine the distribution of one specific set of alleles in the resulting offspring. | Monohybrid cross |
| marked by qualities of good breeding and education; well-bred. | true-Breeding |
| The first set of parents crossed in which their genotype is the basis for predicting the genotype of their offspring, which in turn, may be crossed (filial generation). | P Generation |
| the entire body of individuals born and living at about the same time: the postwar generation. | F1 Generation |
| the entire body of individuals born and living at about the same time: the postwar generation. | F2 Generation |
| any of several forms of a gene, usually arising through mutation, that are responsible for hereditary variation. | Allele |
| . of or pertaining to a dominant. | Dominant |
| that one of a pair of alternative alleles whose effect is masked by the activity of the second when both are present in the same cell or organism. | Recessive |
| having identical pairs of genes for any given pair of hereditary characteristics. | Homozygous |
| having dissimilar pairs of genes for any hereditary characteristic. | Heterozygous |
| the genetic makeup of an organism or group of organisms with reference to a single trait, set of traits, or an entire complex of traits. | Genotype |
| the observable constitution of an organism. | Phenotype |
| The Law of Segregation states that every individual possesses a pair of alleles (assuming diploidy) for any particular trait and that each parent passes. | Law of segregation |
| the principle, originated by Gregor Mendel, stating that when two or more characteristics are inherited, individual hereditary factors assort independently during gamete production, giving different traits an equal opportunity of occurring together. | Law of independent assortment |
| a type of grid used to show the gametes of each parent and their possible offspring; a type of grid that can indicate all the possible outcomes of a genetic cross; also call. | Punnet square |
| test cross | |
| probability | |
| pedigree | |
| sex-linked gene | |
| polygenic inheritance | |
| incomplete dominance | |
| multiple alleles | |
| codominance |
