referring to organisms for which sexual reproduction produces offspring with inherited traits identical to those of the parents; the organisms are homozygous for the characteristics under consideration
the offspring of parents of two different species or of two different varieties of one species; the offspring of two parents that differ in one or more inherited traits; an individual that is heterozygous for one or more pairs of genes
The fusion of sperm and egg derived from two different individuals
The parent individuals from which offspring are derived in studies of inheritance
the offspring of two parental (P generation) individuals; ____ stands for first filial

In a heterozygous individual, the allele that has no noticeable effect on the phenotype
a general rule in inheritance that individuals have 2 alleles for each gene and that when gametes form by meosis, the 2 alleles separate, and each resulting gamete ends up with only one allele of each gene; also know as Mendel's First Law of Inheritance
