| 2412305604 | Law of Dominance | Law that states in a cross of parents that are pure for contrasting traits, only one form of the trait will appear in the next generation, and all of the offspring will be heterozygous and express only the dominant trait. |  | 0 |
| 2412312651 | Monohybrid | A cross between individuals that involves ONE PAIR of contrasting traits |  | 1 |
| 2412318734 | Who is the Father of Genetics? | Gregor Mendel an Austrian Monk | 2 | |
| 2412326679 | True Breeding | Organisms that produce offspring of the same variety |  | 3 |
| 2412332622 | What did Mendel hypothesis about genetics | parents pass genes onto their offspring that are responsible for inherited traits; genes can re-gain their own identities. | 4 | |
| 2412338332 | Medelian's experiment | used pea plants and created breeding combinations for different traits | 5 | |
| 2424108120 | what traits did Mendel test? | seed shape, seed color, pod shape, pod color, flower color, flower | 6 | |
| 2424116312 | allele | Genes which occupy the same position on each member of a homologous pair; can be the same or different | 7 | |
| 2424163645 | homozygous | an organism that has identical alleles for a trait | 8 | |
| 2424183843 | heterozygous | an organism that has two different alleles for a trait |  | 9 |
| 2424187580 | dominant | the trait (allele) that is expressed regardless of the second allele |  | 10 |
| 2424190895 | recessive | the trait (allele) that is only expressed when the second allele is the same | 11 | |
| 2424193718 | genotype | An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations | 12 | |
| 2424195019 | phenotype | Observable characteristics that are under genetic control: physical appearance |  | 13 |
| 2424205128 | parental genotypes | the genotypes of the children that match the genotypes of the parents | 14 | |
| 2424211176 | Punnett square | a chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross | 15 | |
| 2424227491 | codominance | inheritance pattern in which the alleles are neither dominant nor recessive |  | 16 |
| 2424231139 | probability | the likelihood that a particular event will occur | 17 | |
| 2424255371 | what type of cross is sex determination | simple monohybrid | 18 | |
| 2424262126 | does the male or female decide the sex of the offspring | male | 19 | |
| 2424264176 | complete dominance | possession of the dominant genotype results in expression of the dominant trait in the phenotype. (in either the homozygous or heterozygous state ) |  | 20 |
| 2424266590 | incomplete dominance | heterozygote has a phenotype which is intermediate between those of the homozygotes. |  | 21 |
| 2424277805 | polygenic inheritance | trait is determined by 2 or more genes, each with 2 alleles |  | 22 |
| 2424288921 | sex linked inheritance | Involves the genes on the X and Y chromosomes. | 23 |
