The offspring of genetically dissimilar parents or stock. |
Hybrid |
|
established that traits were passed on independently of other traits from parent to offspring |
Mendels law of independent assortment |
|
Established that there are dominant and recessive traits passed on randomly from parents to offspring |
Mendels law of segregation |
|
When a plant can only carry the gene for a specific characteristic |
True breeding |
|
A variant form of a gene |
Allele ex. green pod color versus yellow pod color |
|
The way an individual trait looks or appears |
Phenotype (green vs yellow) |
|
A relationship between alleles of one gene in which the effect on phenotype of one allele (the dominant allele) masks the contribution of a second Allele (the recessive allele) located at the same location |
Dominance |
|
Denotes the actual genetic make up of a trait ex. GG/Gg/gg |
Genotype |
|
relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents, i.e., when not masked by a dominant characteristic inherited from one parent. |
Recessive |
|
Two of the same allele wether dominant or recessive (GG dominant gg recessive) |
Homozygous |
|
One each of two different alleles (Gg) |
Heterozygous |
|
