Fertilization   Process in sexual reproduction in which male and female reproductive cells join to make a new cell  
🗑
Trait   Specific character of an individual  
🗑
True-Breeding (Pure)   A kind of breeding in which the parents with a particular phenotype produce offspring only with the same phenotype.  
🗑
Hybird   Offspring of crosses between parents with different traits  
🗑
Segregation   Separation of alleles during gamete formation  
🗑
Independant Assortment   One of Mendel's principals that states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of Gametes  
🗑
Gametes   Sex Cell  
🗑
Homozygous   Having two identical alleles for a particular gene  
🗑
Hetrozygous   Having two different alleles for a particular gene  
🗑
Phenotype   Physical Characteristics of an organism  
🗑
Genotype   Genetic Makeup of an Organism  
🗑
Dominant   The first and important allele  
🗑
Recessive   Carried in a person's genes without appearing in that person.  
🗑
Allele   One of a number of different forms of a gene  
🗑
Incomplete Dominance   Situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another allele  
🗑
Codominance   Situation in which the phenotypes produced by both alleles are completely expressed  
🗑
Punnett Square   Diagram that can be used to predict the genotype and phenotype combinations of a genetic cross  
🗑
Multiple Allele Trait   A trait that has more alleles in the genes  
🗑
Polygenic Trait   Trait controlled by two or more genes  
🗑
X-Linked Trait   X-linked inheritance means that the gene causing the trait or the disorder is located on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes  
🗑
Carrier   A person or other organism that has inherited a recessive allele for a genetic trait or mutation but does not display that trait or show symptoms of the disease.  
🗑
Autosome   Chromosome that is not a sex chromosome, also called autosomal chromosome  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
