Term
|
Definition
| The first organisms in a crossbreeding; often are purebreds |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The first offspring from a parental generation; often are hybrids |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The first offspring from the first filial cross; second generation from parent generation |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An organism with only one type of allele; genes are identical |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An organism with two different alleles; genes are not identical |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The way an organism appears; description of a trait |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The pair or pairs of alleles for a trait; often expressed as letters |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Code for a protein; occur in pairs from mother and father’s genetics |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The location on DNA that is a code for a gene |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Crossing two organisms that are hybrids for a single trait |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This breeding allows us to see if a dominant trait is homozygous or heterozygous based on offspring |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The trait that expresses itself over a recessive |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The trait that is hidden in a breeding between two purebreds |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An organism with two identical genes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An organism with two different genes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This box allows you to see all the possible genotype outcomes between two parents |
|
|
Term
| Principle of Unit Characteristics |
|
Definition
| Each characteristic or trait has one allele pair of chromosomes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This rule of genetics shows that one trait will express itself over another |
|
|
Term
| Principle of Independent Assortment or Segregation |
|
Definition
| This rule means traits are not linked to one another; this is not always true |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Traits from parents, blend |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Traits from parents express equally |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This type of organism shows both red hairs and white hairs; often occurs in livestock |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This homozygous combination terminates the offspring; often this type of organism is dead before birth |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| When there are more than two options for a trait, it is said to be controlled by multiple alleles; best exemplified in people with blood typing |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A, B, AB & O; can include Rh factors of + and - |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A trait that is linked to the X or Y chromosome |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A crossing between two organisms comparing 2 traits together |
