Match the following vocabulary terms:

• pedigree

• the first set of parents crossed in which their genotype is the basis for predicting the genotype of their offspring, which in turn, may be crossed

• P generation

• the first generation comprised of offspring(s) resulting from a cross between two individuals from parental generation

• F1 generation

• a diagram showing the lineage or genealogy of an individual and all the direct ancestors, usually to analyze or follow the inheritance of trait

• Punnett square

• a tool that helps to predict the probability of offspring possessing certain sets of alleles from their parents
