Term
Genotype
Phenotype
Definition
Actual organism, PP Pp.
Describes outward appearance, purple.
Term
Homozygous Dominant
Definition
both alleles are the same and dominant
Term
Heterozygous Dominant
Definition
One dominant, one recessive Pp
Term
Homozygous Recessive
Definition
carries two copies of the allele that codes for the recessive trait, pp
Term
P Generation
Definition
The original parent plant.
Term
F 1 Generation
Definition
Product of the P Generation, true-breeds to create F 2 generation.
Term
F 2 Generation, and the phenotypic ratio
Definition
Product of F 1 Generation. Phenotypic ratio is 3:1
Term
Law of Segregation
Definition
Adult plants carry a pair of alleles, and it gives offspring 1 of the 2 in the pair.
Term
Independent Assortment
Definition
That in heterozygous alleles, the two different alleles have no effect on the chosen other allele.
Term
CoDominance
Definition
Both alleles are pretty much equal effect, and both are detectable in heterozygotes
Term
Incomplete Dominance
Definition
Recessive alleles are able to be detected
Term
Pleiotropy
Definition
Principle that genes can alter the effect of other genes
Term
Epistasis
Definition
interaction between different genes
Term
Polygenic Inheritance
Definition
Basis of quantative traits, a general characteristic measured widely, sometimes effected by environment
Term
