Trait | Specific characteristic for an individual |
True Breeding(Pure) | Same homorozygous |
Hybrid | Same as heteroygous |
Segreation | Separation of alleles during gamete formation |
Independent Assortment | One if Mendel's principles that states genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes |
Gametes | Sex cells |
Homozygous | Having two identical alleles for particular gene |
Heterozygous | Having two different alleles for a particular gene |
Phenotype | Physical characteristics of and organism |
Genotype | Genetic makeup of an organism |
Dominate | The gene that shows up |
Recissive | An allele whose phenotype can only be seen when there are two copies of it. |
Allele | One of a number of different forms of a gene |
Incomplete Dominance | Situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another over another allele |
Codominance | Situation in which the phenotype produced by both alleles are completely expressed |
Punnett Square | Diagram that can be used to predict the phenotype and phenotype combinations of genetics cross |
Multiple Allele Trait | A gene that has more than two alleles |
Polygenic Trait | Trait controlled by two or more genes |
Sex-linked Trait | Gene located on a sex chromosome |
Carrier | You have the gene but you don't have the diease |
