The alleles for the trait
what are alleles
different forms of any trait
phenotype

what is the law of segregation
that all alleles must separate during meiosis
whats another word for homozygous
pre-breed
what is homozygous
Same alleles for a trait
for example TT or tt
what is another word for heterozygous
hybrid
what is heterozygous
different alleles for a trait
for example Tt
what is the law of chance
the law of chance is when the number of trial increases, the observed ratios are closer to those predicted
in short when trails goes up that deviation goes down
Law of dominance
the dominant gene will always show
the law of independent assortment
each gene separates during meiosis alleles usually separate independently of each other
