genetics | the pattern that mendel discovered.the branch of biology that focuses on heredity. |
heredity | the passing of characters from parents to offspring. |
monohybrid cross | a cross that involves one pair of contrasting traits. |
true breeding | all of the offspring would display only one form of the character. |
p-generation | are the first two individuals that are crossed in a breeding experiment. |
fi-generation | the offspring of the p-generation or the first. filial generation. |
f2-generation | the offspring of the f1-generation,or the second filial generation. |
alleles | the different versions of a genc. |
dominant | the expressed form of a character. |
recessive | the traits that was not expressed when the dominant form of the character was present. |
homozygous | if the two alleles of a particular genc present in an individual are the samc. |
heterozygous | if the alleles of a particular genc present are different. |
genotype | the set of alleles that an individual has for a character. |
phenotype | the physical appearance of a character. |
law of segregation | states that two alleles for a character segregate segregate seperat when gametes are formed. |
law of independent assortment | states that the allels of different genes seperate independently of one another during gamete formation. |
