Genetics

A specific characteristic

An allele that is masked or hidden

An organisms physical apperance

Genetic makeup

A diagram used in the study of inheratance

How did Mendel breed two different plants?

Having two identical alleles for a given gene

Having two different alleles for a given gene

One alleles is only partially dominant

Both alleles for a gene are expressed equally

An alternative form of a gene

A number describing how likely it is that an event will occur

In many traits one allele is dominant over the other allele. The weaker, recessive allele is only expressed when it is paired with another recessive allele.

The set of information that controls a trait

The passing of traits from parents to offsprings

A allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present

The offspring of many generations that have the same traits.

Offspring that are the result of mating between two genetically different kinds of parents; opposite of purebred

Father of genetics

A process in sexual reproduction in which a sperm unites with an egg to make the first cell of a new organism
