Document Summary

Self-pollination: pollen from stamen fertilizes egg in carpel of same flower. Cross-pollination: fertilization of one plant by pollen from another plant. Character: heritable feature that varies among individuals. Genotype: the alleles found in an individual. Phenotype: physical appearance that expresses the genotype. Homozygous: an organism with a pair of identical alleles for a character. Heterozygous: an organism with 2 different alleles for a character. Hybridization: created by mating 2 true breeding varieties. True-breeding: individuals that produce offspring like themselves over many generations of self pollination. p=parental generation (true-breeding parents). f1=1st generation. f2= 2nd generation. Heredity: the transmission of traits from parents to offspring (mendel). Law of segregation: the two alleles for each gene separate during gamete formation. Law of independent assortment: alleles of genes on nonhomologous chromosomes assort independently during gamete formation because they are located on different chromosomes. In dihybrid - homozygous in both traits = yyrr 1/16 = yy ( ) x rr ( )
