specific physical characteristic that varies from one individual to another

section of DNA that codes for a specific trait

a genotype with two different alleles.

different forms of a gene

Mendel's second conclusion, which states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive

specialized cell involved in sexual reproduction

process in sexual reproduction in which male and female reproductive cells join to form a new cell

term used to describe organisms that produce offspring identical to themselves if allowed to self-pollinate

parental generation, the first two individuals that mate in a genetic cross

the first generation of offspring obtained from an experimental cross of two organisms

the second generation of offspring, obtained from an experimental cross of two organisms; the offspring of the F1 generation

The likelihood that a particular event will occur

a chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross

genetic makeup of an organism

The physical traits that appear in an individual as a result of its gentic make up. What an organism looks like.

Scientific term for having two different alleles for a trait

Scientific term for having two identical alleles for a trait

Scientific term for having two dominant alleles for a trait

Scientific term for having two recessive alleles for a trait

creates a blended phenotype; one allele is not completely dominant over the other

situation in which both alleles of a gene contribute to the phenotype of the organism

(genetics) cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms

term used to refer to a cell that contains a complete set of chromosomes

an organism or cell having only a half set of chromosomes

pair of identical chromosomes

a genotype with two of the same alleles.
