Document Summary

Result of a genetic expression that can be passed down from one generation to the next. The allelic composition or description of alleles of an individual. An observable characteristic that is largely determined by the genotype. A structure consisting of dna and associated proteins that contains genetic information that are replicated along with the cell to pass the genetic information on to progeny cells. Plasmids are different in that they can replicate independent of the cell. Reproductive cells (e. g. , pollen, ovules, sperm, eggs) contains n not 2n (haploid) The hereditary unit containing genetic information transcribed into an. Rna molecule that either functions directly (e. g. , trna) or is translated into a polypeptide chain. One of two or more versions of a localized dna region, such as a gene, which differs in sequence. & always uses a homozygous recessive genotype to test. The starting generation that typically consists of two pure breeding (homozygous) parents.
