What I Have Learned

• Genetics - The study of heredity and variation of organisms.
• Heredity - The study of transfer of traits from the parents to offsprings.
• Traits - Controlled by genes.
• Genes - Are always in pair which determine the maternal and paternal trait.
• Monohybrid - involves a cross using a single factor or chatacter trait.
• Dihybrid - Involves a cross using two character traits.
• Law of Dominance - states that one member of the pair of factors or genes may mask or hide the aopearance of the other genes.
• Alleles - Can be represented by a pair of letters called genotypes.
• Genotype - refers to the genetic composition for a trait of an organism.
• Phenotype - The observable trait or visible features of an organism.
• Homozygous - Dissimilar alleles.
• Law of Segregation - states that during gamete formation, the all pairs of gemes for all traits of an organism separates from each other.
• Law of Independent Assortment - States that the distribution of one pair of genes is independent of the distribution of the other pair.
• Punnet Square - is a diagram that allows us to determine the possible combinations of a genes on a given cross.
• Hybrid - Refers to the offspring resulting from a cross between homozygous parents with two contrasting traits.
• Genotype - Refers to the genetic composition of a particular trait of an organism.
• Phenotype - Refers to the physical appearance of an organism.
