1
Refers to chromosome pairs which carry the same genes
2
The combination of genes that an organism has and alleles that make up a trait (must be at least 2 letters).
3
Refers to an individual with different allele for a given gene. E.g., Tt
4
First filial generation; offspring resulting from a cross of the parental generation.
5
Found on a chromosome. A unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring. Codes for a particular trait.
6
Transmission of characteristics from parents to offspring via genes.
7
One of the two or more forms of a gene for a specific trait.
8
A diagram that is used in genetics to show the results of a cross.
9
Population of organism's which display the same characteristics over many generations; homozygous organism.
10
Any of the numbered chromosomes, as opposed to the sex chromosomes. Usually referring to a genetic trait or phenotype not relating to sex chromosomes.
11
Characteristics expressed by an individual; determined by the genotype and influenced by environmental conditions.
12
Refers to an individual with identical alleles for a given gene.
13
The study of inheritance which is controlled by our genes
14
An organism that has a dominant and recessive allele; it is heterozygous and contains alleles for differing characteristics.
15
The principle of genetics stating that when characteristics are crossed, only one will be expressed in the resulting hybrid.
