shepherd science biology

an alternate form of the same gene that codes for a slightly different train than another allele

inheritable features such as skin color, height, flower color, etc.

taking pollen from one flower and pollinating it with another plant

a form of a gene whose trait is always expressed

the trait coded for by a dominant allele

refers to the condition where the trait for which a gene code is able to be seen or is being exhibited

the resulting generation from the cross of the p generation

the fact that when gametes are formed, the two alleles that code for the same trait separate separate from one another

scientists that study genes

the study of genes and heredity

the entire sequence content of dna in a organism

the genetic makeup of an organism

the passing of genes, and traits they carry.

the condition where the cell has the same two alleles for a trait

the condition where an organism has to different alleles for the same trait

when both alleles an organism has for a given trait are dominant

when both alleles an organism has for a given trait are recessive

the genetic property that genes and chromosomes assort or are distributed

principles of genetics first studied by gregor mendel namely the property of independent assortment and dominant recessive relationships

the starting generation when looking at heredity

the expression of the genotype

a tool used in genetics to understand and predict genotypes

an allele which is not expressed unless an organism has two of them

the trait coded for by a recessive allele
