Things
Pollen grains produced in male reproductive parts are transferred to female reproductive parts
Pollination
The appearance of an organism
Who discovered alleles?
The trait that masks the other
Dominant
The trait that is masked by the other
Recessive
Alternate forms of a gene
Allele
Number of alleles for each trait that are passed from each parent to offspring
1
The study of how characteristics are transmitted from parent to offspring
Genetics
Always produce offspring the that trait when they self-pollinate
True breeding
GG: this is what type of gene
Homozygous dominant
Can be used to predict the outcome of genetic crosses
Punnett Square
Genotype
When pollen is transferred between flowers of 2 different plants
cross pollination
A cross in which two characteristic are tracked
Dihybrid cross
If tall is dominant, what would an offspring with this genotype look like (Tt)?
tall
Rod shaped structures made of DNA and proteins
Chromosomes
Heterozygous
Factors for individual characteristics are distributed to gametes independently of one another is this Law
Each characteristic in Mendel's experiment occurred in _____ contrasting alleles
2
This can be used to determine the genotype of an individual whose phenotype expresses the dominant trait.
Test cross
If a heterozygous pea plant crosses with a homozygous recessive plant, what is the genotype ratio
When heterozygous individulas and dominant homozygous individuals are indistinguishable in phenotype
Complete dominance
law states that a pair of factors is separated during the formation of gametes
Law of Segregation
What are the offspring of the P generation
F1 generation
Mitosis results in how many and what kind of cells?
2 diploid
