Heredity: the passing of traits from parents to offspring
Mender: "Father of Genetics"
True breeding: when pollenates will always have the same trait as the parents
Cross breeding: when anthers of one plant are removed so it must be pollenated by another plant
Dominant traits: the trait that always appears
Recessive traits: traits that recede into the background
Genes: segments of DNA that carry hereditary instructions and are passed from parent to offspring
Alleles: the two forms of a gene
Punnett square: a diagram used to visualize the possible combination of alleles from the parents
Genotype: combination of alleles
Phenotype: appearance of the organism
Homozygous: the alleles for the gene are the same
Heterozygous: the gene has different alleles
Probability: the mathematical chance that an event will occur
Meiosis: making sex cells with half the number of usual chromosomes
Sex chromosomes: carries genes that determine if an offspring is male or female
Nucleotide: a subunit of DNA
Mutation: a change in the order of bases in an organism's DNA
Mutagen: anything that can cause a mutation in DNA
Pedigree: a diagram used to trace a trait through many generations
