  1. GENETICS
    is the study of hereditary transmission and variation.
  2. Each diploid cell has two copies of every chromosome, one from the mother and one from the father; these chromosomes are called
    HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES
  3. different forms of a gene are called
    ALLELES
  4. LAW OF SEGREGATION
    , which states that different forms of a gene (alleles) move as independent units from one generation to the next (whether or not they produce visible traits), and that they segregate at random into gametes during meiosis (Anaphase I), thus producing predictable ratios of traits in the offspring.
  5. LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT,
    which states that alleles for different genes segregate and group (assort) independently of each other.
