Term
Definition
Character   An observable heritable feature that may vary among individuals.  
🗑
Trait   One of two or more detectable variants in a genetic character.  
🗑
P Generation   The true-breeding (homozygous) parent individuals from which F1 hybrid offspring are derived in studies of inheritance.  
🗑
F1 Generation   The first filial, hybrid (heterozygous) offspring arising from a parental (P generation) cross.  
🗑
F2 Generation   The offspring resulting from interbreeding (or self-pollination) of the hybrid F1 generation.  
🗑
Allele   Any of the alternative versions of a gene that may produce distinguishable phenotypic effects.  
🗑
Dominant Allele   An allele that is fully expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygote.  
🗑
Recessive Allele   An allele whose phenotypic effect is not observed in a heterozygote.  
🗑
Law of Segregation   Mendel’s first law, stating that the two alleles in a pair segregate (separate from each other) into different gametes during gamete formation.  
🗑
Homozygous   Having two identical alleles for a given gene.  
🗑
Heterozygous   Having two different alleles for a given gene.  
🗑
Phenotype   The observable physical and physiological traits of an organism.  
🗑
Genotype   The genetic makeup, or set of alleles, of an organism.  
🗑
Monohybrid Cross   A cross between two organisms that are heterozygous for the character being followed (or the self-pollination of a heterozygous plant).  
🗑
Dihybrid Cross   A cross between two organisms that are each heterozygous for both of the characters being followed (or the self-pollination of a plant that is heterozygous for both characters).  
🗑
Law of Independent Assortment   Mendel’s second law, stating that each pair of alleles segregates, or assorts, independently of each other pair during gamete formation.  
🗑
Pedigree   A diagram of a family tree with conventional symbols, showing the occurrence of heritable characters in parents and offspring over multiple generations.  
🗑


   

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.
