The signs of heredity and of the mechanisms by which traits are passed from parent to offspring

The expressed form of a trait

The trait that is not expressed when the dominant form of the trait was present

Describes an individual that has identical alleles for a trait on both homologous chromosomes

It describes an individual that has 2 different alleles for a trait

The entire genetic makeup of an organism, also the combination of genes for one or more specific traits

An organisms, appearance or other detectable characteristics that result from the organism's genotype and the environment

Mendel's law that states that the pairs of homologous chromosomes separate in meiosis, so that only one chromosome would from each pair is present in gamete

The law that state that genes separate independently from one another in meiosis

A graphic use to predict the results of a genetic crossA graphic used to predict the results of a genetic cross

A graphic used to predict the results of a genetic cross using two different observed traits

One of the alternative forms of genes that governs a characteristic such as hair color

The likelihood that a possible future event will occur in any given instance of the event. The mathematical ratio of the number of times the one outcome of any event is likely to occur to the number of possible outcomes of the event. That a possible future event will occur in any given instance of the event. The mathematical ratio of the number of times the one outcome of any event is likely to occur to the number of possible outcomes of the event

A diagram that shows the occurrence of a genetic trait in several generations of a family

A trait that is determined by a gene found on one of the sex chromosomes, such as the x chromosomes or the y chromosomes in humans

A characteristic of an organism that is determined by many genes

A condition in which a trait in a individual is intermediate between the phenotype of the individual's two parents, because the dominant alleles is unable to express itself fully

A condition in which both alleles for a gene are fully expressed

Entire set of genetic information then organism carries in its DNA

The number of visual appearances of the chromosomes in it, the cell nuclei of a organisms or species

A genetically determined characteristic examples could be a physical leaf shape, hair color or behavioral, like nesting or feeding

In eukaryotic so one of the structures in the nucleus that's made up of DNA in protein in a prokaryotic cell, the main ring of d n a any chromosomes, that is not a sex chromosome

A type of cell division that results in four dollar cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent, so adding A type of cell division that results in 4 daughters cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cells such as in the production of gametes and plant spores

Cells that contain only a single haploid set of chromosomes, eggs in sperm cells in plants, grains of pollen and egg cells, implant ovulse, also called germ cell four reproductive cell sex cells

Containing two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent

Having a single set of unpaired chromosomes

Process, where homologous chromosomes pair up with each other in exchange segments of their d. N a during prophase one
