The study of heredity.

The set of characteristics passed on from parent to child.

Offspring of parents very different from each other.

Separation of alleles during gamete formation.

A haploid cell used in sexual reproduction.

Transfer of pollen from a male plant to a female plant.

Organism with homozygous traits only.

A genetic variant of an organism.

Parental generation.

First generation of offspring.

Second generation of offspring.

A trait that only needs one parent's copy to be visibly expressed.

A trait that needs both parents' copies to be visibly expressed.

The full set of genetic information found in an organism's DNA.

Two chromosomes that determine biological sex.

Every chromosome excluding sex chromosomes.

A specific characteristic of an organism.

A sequence of DNA that codes for a protein.

The variety of a gene.

Physical appearance.

Genes present in an organism.

Having both recessive or both dominant alleles.
