Chapter 11 Biology Flashcards
F1 Generation
the first group of plants produced by cross-pollination
Homozygous
the organism has two identical alleles for a particular trait ex: TT or tt PUREBRED
Genes
factors that control traits
Heredity
the passing of traits from parents to their offspring
P Generation
parent purebred plants. Each plant has the same type of allele
ex: dad has TT and mom has tt
Heterozygous
the organism has two different alleles for a particular trait ex: Tt HYBRID
Purebred
self-pollinated plant that produces offspring that are identical to the parent
Genotype
the genetic makeup of alleles ex 1 TT:2Tt:1tt (only list what you have)
Hybrids
plants produced by crossing parents with different characteristics
Phenotype
physical characteristics of the offspring ex: 3 tall: 1 short, 3:1
Cross-pollination
transfer of pollen from the flower of one plant onto the flower of another plant
Dominance
some alleles are more noticeable or occur more often (dominant) and some are less often (recessive)
Alleles
different forms of genes
Pollination
transfer of pollen from male to female flower plant to produce seeds
Self-pollination
the process in which pollen from one flower falls onto a flower of the very same plant
