This describes the way the genetic qualities you receive from your ancestors are passed on
What is heredity
100
This is the name for offspring of parents that have differnt forms of a trait, such as tall and short height
What is a hybrid
100
This is what Mendel called the observed trait
What is dominant
100
this law states that every individual has two alleles of each one of these
What is a gene
100
The allele combination that an organism contains is known as this
What is the genotype
200
Characteristics that are inherited are called this
What are traits
200
Mendel concluded, in the rule of unit factors, that each organism has this number of factors that control each trait
What is two
200
This is what Mendel called the trait that disappeared when he crossed pea plants with different traits
What is recessive
200
when gametes are produced, each gamete receives only one of these
What is an allele
200
An organism is this for a trait if its two alleles for the trait are the same
What is homozygous
300
Garden peas reproduce sexually, which means that they produce male and female sex cells called this
What is gametes
300
This is what we now call the term that Mendel called factors
What is a gene
300
This is the type of letter used to represent the dominant allele
What is upper case
300
During fertilization, gametes randomly pair to produce four combinations of these
What is alleles
300
An organism is this for a trait if its two alleles differ from each other
What is heterozygous
400
The male gamete unites with the female gamete in this process
What is fertilization
400
This is where genes are located
What is on chromosomes
400
When recording the results of crosses, it is customary to use this for different alleles of the same gene
What is the same letter
400
This is the term for the way an organism looks or behaves, based on the alleles present
What is phenotype
400
This is a cross involving two traits
What is dihybrid
500
After fertilization, the fertilized cell is called this
What is a zygote
500
Genes exist in alternative forms. We call these different gene forms this
What is alleles
500
If the allele for tallness is dominant, and an organism has inherited one allele for tallness and one for shortness, this is the correct way to write that genotype
What is Tt
500
This is the summary of the law of segregation
What is during fertilization, gametes randomly pair creating different allele combinations
500
Mendel's second law, the Law of Independent Assortment states this
What is genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other
