1042759941CharacterAn observable heritable feature that may vary among individuals.
1042759942TraitOne of two or more detectable variants in a genetic character.
1042759943True-BreedingReferring to organisms that produce offspring of the same variety over many generations of self-pollination.
1053612411hybridizationIn genetics, the mating, or crossing, of two true-breeding varieties.
1053612412P GenerationThe true-breeding (homozygous) parent individuals from which F1 hybrid offspring are derived in studies of inheritance; P stands for "parental."
1053612413F1 generationThe first filial, hybrid (heterozygous) offspring arising from a parental (P generation) cross.
1053612414F2 generationThe offspring resulting from interbreeding (or self-pollination) of the hybrid FF1 generation.
1053612415The Law of segregationMendel's first law, stating that the two alleles in a pair segregate (separate from each other) into different gametes during gamete formation.
1053612416AlleleAny of the alternative versions of a gene that may produce distinguishable phenotypic effects.
1053612417Dominant AlleleAn allele that is fully expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygote.
1053612418Recessive AlleleAn allele whose phenotypic effect is not observed in a heterozygote.
1053612419GenotypeThe genetic makeup, or set of alleles, of an organism.
1053612420PhenotypeThe EXPRESSED/observable physical and physiological traits of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup.
1053612421The Law of SegregationMendel's first law, stating that the two alleles in a pair segregate (separate from each other) into different gametes during gamete formation.
1053612422Punnett SquareA diagram used in the study of inheritance to show the predicted genotypic results of random fertilization in genetic crosses between individuals of known genotype.
1053612423HomozygousHaving two identical alleles for a given gene.
1053612424HeterozygousHaving two different alleles for a given gene.
1053612425PhenotypeExpressed. The observable physical and physiological traits of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup.
1053612426GenotypeThe genetic makeup, or set of alleles, of an organism.
1053612427TestcrossBreeding an organism of unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the unknown genotype. The ratio of phenotypes in the offspring reveals the unknown genotype.
1053612428The Law of Independent AssortmentMendel's second law, stating that each pair of alleles segregates, or assorts, independently of each other pair during gamete formation; applies when genes for two characters are located on different pairs of homologous chromosomes or when they are far enough apart on the same chromosome to behave as though they are on different chromosomes.
1053612429MonohybridsAn organism that is heterozygous with respect to a single gene of interest. All the offspring from a cross between parents homozygous for different alleles are monohybrids. For example, parents of genotypes AA and aa produce a monohybrid of genotype Aa.
1053612430Monohybrid CrossA cross between two organisms that are heterozygous for the character being followed (or the self-pollination of a heterozygous plant).
1053612431DihybridsAn organism that is heterozygous with respect to two genes of interest. All the offspring from a cross between parents doubly homozygous for different alleles are dihybrids. For example, parents of genotypes AABB and aabb produce a dihybrid of genotype AaBb.
1053612432Dihybrid CrossA 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).
1053612433What is Mendel's Second Law?The 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; applies when genes for two characters are located on different pairs of homologous chromosomes or when they are far enough apart on the same chromosome to behave as though they are on different chromosomes.

1064696163At the beginning of the Civil War, President Abe Lincoln favoredquick military action to show the folly of secession
1064696164Lincoln hoped that a Union victory at Bull Run would lead to the Capture of the Confederate capital atRichmond
1064696165In the Civil War, the South wonthe battle of Bull Run
1064696166The South's victory at Bull Run in 1861reduced enlistments in the South's army
1064696167The Union's defeat in the battle at Bull Run in 1861 was better than a victory because:a. Ulysses S. Grant took command of the army immediately after the setback b. the defeat cause Northerners to face up to the reality of a long, difficult war c. "Stone Wall" Jackson was killed d. It caused Lincoln to declare a war against slavery
1064696168George B. McClellan is best described ascautious
1064696169After assuming command of the Army of the Pontomac, General George McClellan made the mistake ofconsistently believing that the enemy outnumbered him
1064696170As a result of the Union loss in the Peninsula Campaign, Lincoln began todraft the Emancipation Proclamation
1064696171After the peninsula Campaign, Union strategy included the following:a. cutting the Confederacy in half b. Marching through Georgia and the Carolinas c. Blockading the Confederacy's coastline d. Liberating the slaves
1064696172AS a result of the Confederate victory in the Peninsula Campaign, the Union turned to astrategy of total war
1064696173The final Union war strategy included the following components:a. a naval blockade b. undermining the Confederate economy c. seizing control of the Mississippi River d. Capturing Richmond
1064696174Britain did not protest too loudly against the Union blockade of the Confederacy because Britain might want touse a similar blockade in a future war
1064696175The most alarming Confederate threat to the Union blockade came fromthe ironclad Merrimack (the Virginia)
1064696176The Confederate blockade runner, the Merrimack, was destroyed byConfederate soldiers
1064696177After halting Lee's troops at Antietam, General George McClellan wasremoved from his field command
1064696178One of the key developments enabling the Union to stop the Confederate thrust into the North at Antietam wasthe Union's discovery of Robert E. Lee's Battle Plans
1064696179The two major battles of the Civil War fought on Union soul wereGettysburg and Antietam
1064696180The Battle of Antietam was particularly critical because it probably prevented intervention byBritain and France on behalf of the Confederacy
1064696181The North's "victory" at Antietam allowed President Lincoln to issue theEmancipation Proclamation
1064696182Slavery was legally abolished in the United States by the13th Amendment to the Constitution
1064696183The Emancipation Proclamation had the effect of strengthening the moral cause and diplomatic position of theUnion
1064905893When it was issued in 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation declared free only those slaves instates still in rebellion against the United States
1064905894The following occurred as a result of the Emancipation Proclamation:a. mounting opposition in the North to an "abolition" war b. sharp increases in Union desertions c. heavy congressional defeats for Lincoln's administration d. complaints from abolitionists that it did not go far enough
1064905895During the Civil War, blacks were enlisted by the Union army only afterthe Emancipation Proclamation was issued
1064905896African Americans who fought for the Union army in the Civil War servedbravely and suffered extremely heavy casualties
1064905897The Confederacy enlisted slaves into their armya month before the war ended
1064905898Robert E. Lee decided to invade the North through Pennsylvania in order todeliver a decisive blow that would strengthen the Northern peace movement
1064905899The Battle of Gettysburg was significant because Union victory meant thatthe Southern cause was doomed
1064905900The Union victory at Vicksburg was of major importance because:a. it reopened the Mississippi River to Northern trade b, coupled with the victory at Gettysburg, foreign help for the Confederacy was irretrievably lost c. it helped to quell Northern peace agitation d. it cut off the supply of cattle and other goods from Texas and Louisiana
1064905901One consequence of General William T. Sherman's style of warfare wasa shorter war that saved lives
1064905902The group in the North most dangerous to the Union cause was theNorthern Peace Democrats
1064905903Clement L. Vallandigham, a Southern sympathizer and vocal opponent of the war, was derisively labeled aCopperhead
1064905904In the election of 1864, the Republicans joined with the pro-war Democrats and founded theUnion Party
1064905905In the 1864 election, Abraham Lincoln's running mate wasAndrew Johnson
1064905906In the 1864 election, the Democratic party nominated George McClellan to opposeLincoln's reelection
1064905907The Union army's victory in the capture of Atlanta was probably critical toLincoln's reelection in 1864
1064905908General Ulysses S. Grant's basic strategy in the Civil War involved assailing the enemy's armiessimultaneously and directly
1064905909During the Civil War, Grant lost one to every _____ men, and Lee lost one man to every ____ten, five
1064905910The assassination of Abe Lincoln wasa calamity for the South
