Term
Alleles!!!
Definition
The different forms of a gene. Y and y are different alleles of the gene that determines seed color. :DD
Term
Dominant Trait!!!
Definition
A trait expressed preferentially over another trait. :PP
Term
F1 Generation!!!
Definition
Offspring of a cross between true breeding plants, homozygous for the trait of interest. :00
Term
F2 Generation!!!
Definition
Offspring of a cross involving the F1 Generation. :))
Term
Genotype!!!
Definition
The genetic constitution ofan organism with respect to a trait. Yellow seeds are dominant, but yellow seeded plants could have a genotype of either YY or Yy. :$$
Term
Heterozygous!!!
Definition
Differing alleles for a trait in an individual, such as Yy. ;DD
Term
Homozygous!!!
Definition
Both alleles for a trait are the same individual. ;))
Term
Hybrid!!!
Definition
Heterozygous; usually reffering to the offspring of two true-breeding (homozygous) individuals differing in the traits of interest. ;OO
Term
Monohybrid Cross!!!
Definition
Cross involving parents differing in only one trait. ;JJ
Term
Mutation!!!
Definition
Change in DNA sequence of a gene to some new, heritable form. Generally, but now always a recessive allele. ;QQ
Term
Phenotype!!!
Definition
The physical of an organism with respect to a trait.
Term
Recessive Trait!!!
Definition
The opposite of dominant. A trait that is preferentially masked.
