Two pure-breeding species are crossed

Answer 8

Monohybrid cross

Produces only one form of a particular triat whey self-fertilize

Answer 9

Pure-breeding

Question 10

Gene that is responsible for the observed character (e.i flower color)

Answer 10

Genotype

Question 11

Observable expressions of the trait (purple or white flowers)

Answer 11

Phenotype

Question 12

Carries two dominant alleles (PP)

Answer 12

Homozygous dominant

Question 13

One dominant allele and one recessive allele (Pp)

Answer 13

Heterozygous or recessive

Question 14

Two recessive alleles (pp)

Answer 14

Homozygous recessive

Question 15

Cross between members of the same offspring

Answer 15

Self-cross or selfing

Question 16

A diagram made of boxes. Used to predict the expected results of a genetic cross by cobsidering all the possible combinations of gametes in a cross

Answer 16

Punnet square

Question 17

Genetic characters are controlled by unit factors (genes) that exist in pairs in individual organisms

Answer 17

Rule of Unit Factors in Pairs

Question 18

One unit factor in a pair may mask the expression of the other (dominant is always expressed, but with the exception of two recessive alleles)

Answer 18

Principle of Dominance and Recessiveness
