Chapter 11- mendel and gene idea Flashcards
Trait
Variations for a character, such as purple or white
Character
Heritable feature that varies among traits
True-breeding
When the she seeds of a plant are exactly the same as its parents
Hybridization
Two true breeding parents mate and have kids
P Generation
Parental generation
F1 generation
The first filial generations
F2 Generations
When two offspring for the F1 generation cross pollinate and create more offspring
Alleles
Alternative version of a gene
Dominant allele
Determines organisms phenotype when homo or heterozygous forms
Recessive Allele
Only shows physical traits when in a homozygous recessive pair
Law of segregation
Two allele for a heritable character separate from each other during gamete formation
Test cross
A test by using offspring ratios and matting a dominate plant with a recessive to deter,one the second letter of dominant plant
Mono hybrid
They were heterozygous for one particular character
Mono hybrid cross
Cross between two heterozygous organisms
Dihybrid
A plant with two heterozygous alleles controlling one character EX. YyFf
