Biology Study Guide 10.2 – Flashcards
Flashcard maker : Kieran Carr
is the branch of biology that studies how traits are inherited.
Genetics
offspring result from parents that have different forms of alleles.
Hybrid
for certain traits.
Alleles
states that every individual has two alleles when gametes are produced, each gamete receives one of these alleles.
Law of Segregation
states that genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other.
Law of Independent Assortment
Dominant Trait
An observed trait that makes the recessive form of a trait.
Recessive Trait
Trait that can be observed if the dominant trait is not present.
Genotype
The allele combination an organism contains.
Phenotype
The way an organism looks and behaves.
Homozygous
An organism’s genotype when two alleles for a trait are the same.
Heterozyous
An organism’s genotype when two alleles for a trait are different.
pairs, with pea plants.
gene
A cross between plants that involves one characteristics is called a
Monohybrid
crosses.
Dihybrid
Among the seeds of the offspring
Phenotypic Ratio
Both males and females sex cells
gametes
from generation to generation.
Inherited
to breed one plant with another.
Cross – Pollination
occurs when a male gamete fuses with a female in the same flower.
Self – Fertilization
