Monohybrid Flashcards
1
Q
What is a monohybrid cross
A
Allows us to predict possible genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring based on the genotypes of parent
2
Q
Genotype
A
Combination of alleles which determines the phenotype (tt)
3
Q
Phenotype
A
Physical expression of a trait (tall)
4
Q
Heterozygous
A
Genotype which 2 alleles are different (Tt)
5
Q
Homozygous
A
Genotype which alleles are the same (tt)
6
Q
Backcross
A
Used when organism has dominant phenotype, and don’t know if genotype is hetero or homo dom
To find out cross do, phenotype w homo recessive
7
Q
If cross is 100% dom it is
A
Homozygous
8
Q
If cross is 50% dom and 50% recessive it is
A
Heterozygous
