7760368462CharacterA heritable feature that varies among individuals0
7760368463TraitEach variant for a character1
7760368464True-breedingOver many generations, it had produced only the same variety as the parent2
7760368465HybridizationMating of two true-breeding parents3
7760368466AlleleAlternative versions of a gene4
7760368467Dominant AlleleDetermine the organisms appearance-Capital letter5
7760368468Recessive alleleNo noticeable effect of the organisms appearance-aa6
7760368469Law of SegregationStates that the two alleles for a heritable character separate from each other during gamete formation and end up in different gametes7
7760368470HomozygousPair of identical alleles for a character8
7760368471HeterozygousTwo different alleles for a gene9
7760368472PhenotypeAn organisms appearance or observable traits10
7760368473GenotypeAn organisms genetic makeup11
7760368474TestcrossBreeding an organism of unknown genotype with a recessive homozygote12
7760368475MonohybridsParents were heterozygous for the one particular character being followed in the cross13
7760368476Monohybrid CrossCross of two heterozygotes(Rr)14
7760368477DihybridIndividuals heterozygous for the two characters being followed in the cross(YyRr)15
7760368478Law of Independent AssortmentStates that each pair of alleles segregates independently of each other pair of alleles during gamete formation16
7760368479Multiplication RuleStates that to determine the probability, we multiple the probability of one event by the probability of the other event17
7760368480Addition RuleStates that the probability that any one of two or more mutually exclusive events will occur is calculated by adding their individual probabilities18
7760368481Complete dominanceThe offspring always looked like one of the two parental variety because one allele in the pair showed __________19
7760368482Incomplete dominanceThree or more potential varieties from crossing tow parents20
7760368483Co-dominanceTwo alleles each affect the phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways21
7760368486Polygenic InheritanceAn additive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character22
7760368487CarrierHeterozygous person can transmit the recessive allele to their offspring without themselves having the trait23
