5. allele any one of a series of three or more
alternative or allelic forms of a gene, only two
of which can exist in any normal, diploid
individual.
1. the action or process of fertilizing an egg,
female animal, or plant, involving the fusion
of male and female gametes to form a zygote.
2. a feature of an organism.
8. the offspring of two plants or animals of
different species or varieties, such as a mule.
9. square a diagram that is used to predict an
outcome of a particular cross or breeding
experiment.
10. the study of heredity and the variation of
inherited characteristics.
12. A diploid organism is heterozygous at a
gene locus when its cells contain two different
alleles of a gene.
14. used to measure the chances or likelihood
of an event to occur, a hypothesis being
correct, or a scientific prediction being true.
16. trait one genetic mechanism giving us a
continuous range of possibilities.
18. a mature haploid male or female germ cell
that is able to unite with another of the
opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a
zygote.
19. the set of observable characteristics of an
individual resulting from the interaction of its
genotype with the environment.
20. the genetic constitution of an individual
organism.
3. dominance a form of intermediate
inheritance in which one allele for a specific
trait is not completely expressed over its
paired allele.
4. assortment formation of random
combinations of chromosomes in meiosis and
of genes on different pairs of homologous
chromosomes by the passage according to the
laws of probability of one of each diploid pair
of homologous chromosomes into each
gamete independently of each other pair.
6. an individual gene has two of the same
allele, whether dominant or recessive.
7. of dominance a genetic law that states that
the offspring of individuals with contrasting
traits will only express the dominant trait.
11. A genetic scenario where neither allele is
dominant or recessive and both get expressed
13. the separation of pairs of alleles at meiosis
and their independent transmission via
separate gametes.
15. one of two or more alternative forms of a
gene that arise by mutation and are found at
the same place on a chromosome.
17. a unit of heredity that is transferred from a
parent to offspring and is held to determine
some characteristic of the offspring.
