Definitions

• LAW OF SEGREGATION: " during gamete formation, alleles of each gene pair separates from each other so that each gamete receives one allele of each gene pair.
• GENOTYPE: The genetic makeup of an organism
• MONOHYBRID: in which we study one type of trait at a time
• DIHYBRID: when two traits are studied together
• HYBRID: A variety produced by crossing over two contrasting true breeding parents.
• TRUE BREEDER: a breeder whose each allele is homozygous, RR or rr (considering a specific gene)
• LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT: "During gamete formation, alleles of one gene segregate independently from the alleles of another gene without interference
• PUNNET SQUARES: used to predict offspring from parents with known genotypes.
