Study Notes
Theory of the Gene
- The theory of the gene is based on the idea that genetic information is transmitted from one generation to the next through discrete units called genes.
Crosses Involving Character Differences
- A dihybrid cross is a cross involving two character differences that are separable in inheritance.
Genotype Composition
- The genotype consists of the complete set of genes an individual organism possesses.
Inbreeding F1 Hybrid Plants
- The result of inbreeding F1 hybrid plants is homozygous recessive offspring.
Independent Assortment of Seed Characters
- The segregation of seed-color characters is independent of seed-shape characters, meaning that these two traits are inherited independently of each other.
