when each F1 plant flowers, the 2 alleles segregate form eachother so that each gamete carries only a single copy of each gene; therefore, each F1 plant produces 2 types of gametes-those with the allele for tallness and those with the allele for shortness; alleles for seed shape segregated independently of those for seed color - independent assortment helps account for the many genetic variations in plants, animals and other organisms
states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive
"two sets" - cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes
5 True/False Question
Incomplete Dominance → states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive
Haploid → "one set" - a cell that contains only one set of chromosomes meaning only one set of genes
Gregor Mendel → genetic makeup; EX: genotype of the tall plant is TT
Multiple Alleles/Bloodtype → genetic makeup; EX: genotype of the tall plant is TT
Homologous Chromosomes → organisms that have 2 identical alleles for a particular trait -TT or tt- homozygous organisms are truebreeding for a particular trait
