Document Summary
Mendelian inheritance: learning objectives: define and distinguish between true-breeding organisms, hybrids, the p generation, the f1 generation, and the f2 generation. When self-fertilization produces offspring identical to the parent. F1 generation: the first generation of the p generation offspring. F2 generation: the offspring of the f1 generation: define and distinguish between the following pairs of terms: homozygous and heterozygous; dominant allele and recessive allele; genotype and phenotype. Homozygous: an organism that has two identical alleles for a gene (pp or pp). Heterozygous: an organism that has two different alleles for a gene (pp). Half of the gametes carries one allele (p) and the remaining half carries the other (p). There are different versions of genes that cause change in the offspring. Dominant allele: when two alleles differ, and the one that determines the organism"s appearance. Recessive allele: when two alleles differ, the one that has not noticeable effect on the organism"s appearance.
