Term | Definition |
Genetics | study of whole genomes |
Fertilization | process in sexual reproduction in which male and female reproduction cells join to form a new cell |
Trait | specific characteristics of an individual |
True-Breeding (pure) | is the same thing as homozygous |
Hybrid | Offspring of crosses between parents with different traits |
Segregation | Separation of alleles during gamete formation |
Independent Assortment | One of Mendel's principles 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 |
Heterozygous | Having two different alleles for a particular |
Phenotype | Physical characteristics of an organism |
Genotype | Genetic makeup of an organism |
Dominant | Is the gene that shows up |
Recessive | Trait or gene |
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 prototypes produce by both alleles are completely expressed |
Punnett Square | Diagrams that can be used to predict the genotype and phenotype combinations of a genetic cross |
Multiple Allele Tratit | 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 | Some one that can carries a disease but doesn't have it |
Autosome | Chromosome that is not a sex chromosome; also called automatism chromosome |
