| 132899508 | law of independent assortment | states that, factors for individual characteristics are distributed to gametes independent of one another | |
| 132899509 | genetics | study of hereditary | |
| 136284862 | hereditary | the transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring | |
| 136284863 | trait | a genetically determined variant of a characteristic | |
| 136284864 | pollination | pollen from anthers are transferred to the stigma of another flower | |
| 136284865 | self-pollination | pollination on the same flower or flower on the plant | |
| 136284866 | cross-pollination | pollination of two plants | |
| 136284867 | true-breeding | pure for a trait and will always produce it | |
| 136284868 | p generation | true-breeding parents | |
| 136284869 | f1 generation | offspring of p generation, cross pollinated | |
| 136284870 | f2 generation | offspring of f1 generation, self pollinated | |
| 136284871 | Dominant | dominating factor | |
| 136284872 | Recessive | hidde factor | |
| 136284873 | law of segregation | a pair of factors are segregated during the formation of gametes | |
| 136284874 | molecular genetics | the study of the structure and function of chromosomes and genes | |
| 136284875 | allele | an alternate form of a gene | |
| 136284876 | probability | number of times an event is expected to happen/ number of times an event could happen | |
| 136284877 | genotypic ratio | the ratio of genotypes that appear in offspring | |
| 136284878 | phenotypic ratio | ratio of offsprings phenotype | |
| 136284879 | testcross | an individual of unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual | |
| 136284880 | complete dominance | one allele is completely dominant over another | |
| 136284881 | incomplete dominance | a phenotype in between the parents traits | |
| 136284882 | codominance | both alleles for a gene are expressed in a heterozygous offspring |
