17.2 Monohybrid inheritance Flashcards
1
Q
define monohybrid inheritance
A
inheritance of a single gene
2
Q
define pure-breeding
A
consistently breeding individuals with the same characteristics to produce offspring with only that characteristics
3
Q
law of segregation
A
in diploid organisms, characteristics are determined by alleles that occur in pairs.
Only one of each pair of alleles can be present in a single gamete
4
Q
step by step on making a genetic cross diagram (6 steps)
A
- workout alleles and their codes
- workout genotypes
- separate genotypes
- draw a punnet square
- match alleles with each other
- determines phenotypes
