Term
|
Definition
| Two members of a gene pair segregate from each other into the gamete; so half the gametes carry one member of the pair and the other half of the gametes carry the other member of the pair. |

Term
| A heterozygote resulting from the cross of two pure parental strains |

Definition
|
|
Term
| A cross between two phenotypically identical individuals from the same generation |

| Law of independant assortment |
|
Definition
| During gamete formation, the segregation of the alleles of one gene is independant of the segregation of alleles of another. |
