| 7760368462 | Character | A heritable feature that varies among individuals | 0 | |
| 7760368463 | Trait | Each variant for a character | 1 | |
| 7760368464 | True-breeding | Over many generations, it had produced only the same variety as the parent | 2 | |
| 7760368465 | Hybridization | Mating of two true-breeding parents | 3 | |
| 7760368466 | Allele | Alternative versions of a gene | 4 | |
| 7760368467 | Dominant Allele | Determine the organisms appearance-Capital letter | 5 | |
| 7760368468 | Recessive allele | No noticeable effect of the organisms appearance-aa | 6 | |
| 7760368469 | Law of Segregation | States that the two alleles for a heritable character separate from each other during gamete formation and end up in different gametes | 7 | |
| 7760368470 | Homozygous | Pair of identical alleles for a character | 8 | |
| 7760368471 | Heterozygous | Two different alleles for a gene | 9 | |
| 7760368472 | Phenotype | An organisms appearance or observable traits | 10 | |
| 7760368473 | Genotype | An organisms genetic makeup | 11 | |
| 7760368474 | Testcross | Breeding an organism of unknown genotype with a recessive homozygote | 12 | |
| 7760368475 | Monohybrids | Parents were heterozygous for the one particular character being followed in the cross | 13 | |
| 7760368476 | Monohybrid Cross | Cross of two heterozygotes(Rr) | 14 | |
| 7760368477 | Dihybrid | Individuals heterozygous for the two characters being followed in the cross(YyRr) | 15 | |
| 7760368478 | Law of Independent Assortment | States that each pair of alleles segregates independently of each other pair of alleles during gamete formation | 16 | |
| 7760368479 | Multiplication Rule | States that to determine the probability, we multiple the probability of one event by the probability of the other event | 17 | |
| 7760368480 | Addition Rule | States that the probability that any one of two or more mutually exclusive events will occur is calculated by adding their individual probabilities | 18 | |
| 7760368481 | Complete dominance | The offspring always looked like one of the two parental variety because one allele in the pair showed __________ | 19 | |
| 7760368482 | Incomplete dominance | Three or more potential varieties from crossing tow parents | 20 | |
| 7760368483 | Co-dominance | Two alleles each affect the phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways | 21 | |
| 7760368486 | Polygenic Inheritance | An additive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character | 22 | |
| 7760368487 | Carrier | Heterozygous person can transmit the recessive allele to their offspring without themselves having the trait | 23 |
