Heredity |
This is the science of how genes are passed down from parents to offspring. |
|
|
Offspring |
This is the result of sexual repreduction from both of the parents of the organism. |
|
|
Gene |
This is what is passed down to the child from the parents. |
|
|
Genetic trait |
This is what the trait is passed down through genes of the organism. |
|
|
Allele |
These are the indiviual letters that make up the genotype. |
|
|
Genotype |
This is the letters that creates the genotype. ,. |
|
|
Phenotype |
This is the result of the genotype. This means that this is the appearance of the genes that the organism has. |
|
|
Dominant |
This is the uppercase letter when dealing with alleles. |
|
|
Recessive |
This is the lower case letter when dealing with alleles. |
|
|
Homozygous |
This is when you either have both reccesive alleles or if you have both domninat alleles. |
|
|
Heterozygous |
This is when you have a recessive allele and a dominant. |
|
|
Cross |

|
|
monohybrid punnett square |
This square is used to determine the scienticfic percentage of a gene that the offspring will have. |
|
|
F1 generation |
The first generation produced by the mating of two parents is called the F1 generation. |
|
|
simple dominance |
What simple dominace is when you have both the dominant alleles and the recessive alleles. A example is Tt |
|
|
incomplete dominance |
This is just another name for a heterozygous. An example is Tt. |
|
|
co-dominance |
This is when the geneotypes form a phenotype that shows both of the parents characteristics. |
|
|
hybrid |
