Document Summary

Heredity transmission of genetic information from parent to offspring. Offspring are a blend of both parents. Every generation should be more uniform (less variation) traits/characteristics: variation in dna. Variation individuals in a population exhibit variation in. Characteristics are passed from generation to generation through (cid:498)discrete particles(cid:499) (cid:523)genes(cid:524) Homologous chromosomes same size, same character. Gene a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is: locus (loci) specific place of the genes. Alleles alternative forms of a gene for one character. Homozygous possessing an identical pair of alleles on homologous. Heterozygous possessing two different alleles on homologous. Dominance one allele masks the expression of another allele at the same. Genotype genetic makeup of an organism. Phenotype physical appearance of an organism: same phenotype could have different genotype. Pp + pp pp held to determine some characteristic of the offspring. chromosomes. chromosomes. locus: particulate hypothesis. Experimental organism: feature that varies among individuals (flower color.
