1.
allele: 2 genes on homologous chromosomes for same trait
2.
axial: AA
3.
Black BB and white WW: parents BB and WW multiplied get BW, BW, BW,BW all babies heterozygous BW and grey =F
4.
Diploid: the state in which each type of chromosome (except the sex chromosomes) is represented twice (2N) has 2 sets /almost every chromosome
5.
dominant trait: allele that can cover up a recessive allele example have one dominant trait that will be what is expressed
6.
F1: children
7.
F2: grandchildren
8.
gene: section of DNA molecule
9.
genotype: genetic makeup
10.
genotype for TT x tt: = TT: Tt: tt : 0:4:0
11.
Gregor Mendell: father of modern genetics based on work with pea plants
12.
haploid: the genetic chromosome number the state in which each type of chromosome represented only once (N) found in sex cells
13.
heredity: passing of traits from one generation to the next
14.
heterozygous: Bb (1 dominant and 1 recessive) 2 different alleles for the trait`
15.
homozygous: =same BB or bb (2 dominant or 2 recessive identical alleles for the trait
16.
horses dominant B=black and b= chestnut color: Parent Bb x parent Bb the babies will be Bb x Bb parents are heterozygous
17.
hybrid=heterozygous: = 1 dominant and 1 recessive present hybrid cars part electric and part gas
18.
incomplete dominance: when 2 different alleles together produce an intermediate blended phenotype combine get medium height
19.
mutation: genetic change in DNA
20.
phenotype: physical appearance
21.
punnett squares: checkerboard method to predict the different type of offspring in a cross
22.
recessive trait: allele that does not express itself in the heterozygous condition one from both mom and dad to show it
23.
T= tall: homozygous dominant
24.
t=short: homozygous recessive
25.
terminal: aa
26.
The F2 generation BW x BW: the genotype is 1:2:1 BB: BW: WW phenotype is 50% gray, 25% white 1:2:1
