Genetics

Offspring that are the result of mating two genetically different kinds of parents --opposite of purebred.

A theory that inherited traits blend from generation to generation. Accepted 19th Century

Opposite of hybrid. Offspring that are the result of breeding genetically similar plants or animals.

Unit of inheritance usually occurring at specific loci on chromosome. 

Alternate forms of the same gene. express different traits. 

Genotype consisting of 2 identical alleles of a gene for particular trait

General term for allele that masks the presents of another allele 

General term for allele that is masked by the presents of another allele 

Mendel's principle of genetic inheritance that states that any particular trait, the genes from each parent separate (during formation of gametes) 

genes are passed to offspring independently 

a trait that is determined by the by the combined effect of more than one gene.

Two different traits expressed in the phenotype of heterozygous individuals unblended. AB blood

inheritance pattern in which a gene has more than 2 alleles. ABO blood is a example

genes that can alter how certain other genes are expressed in a phenotype. 

gene that can either initiate or block the expression of other genes

genes that need certain environmental factors to show up. Ex gene for type II diabetes
