Define the following genetic terms: 1. A specific characteristic like seed color or plant height. 2. Uses mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses. 3. Physical traits (ex: green pods). 4. The separation of allele pairs during meiosis. 5. Organisms with 2 identical alleles for a particular gene (ex: GG or gg). 6. Traits produced by the interaction of several genes. 7. The process where male and female reproductive cells join to produce a new cell. 8. The scientific study of inheritance. 9. Factors passed on from one parental generation to the next. 10. Reproductive cells that carry half an organism's genetic material. 11. Genes of different traits segregate independently. 12. Cases where one allele is not completely dominant over another. 13. Offspring of crosses between parents with contrasting characteristics. 14. The likelihood that a particular event will occur. 15. A micrograph of the complete diploid set of chromosomes grouped together. 16. Genetic makeup for a gene. 17. Phenotypes produced by both alleles are expressed. 18. Organisms with 2 different alleles for a gene (ex: Gg). 19. One of Mendel's conclusions regarding dominant and recessive alleles. Read more
