Law of Segregation
-Everyone has 1 pair of alleles for any trait but during reproduction, only 1
allele is passed to the next gen (each gamete has 1 allele)
- There are dominant and recessive alleles
- Dominant - Always appears as the phenotype if at least 1
- Uppercase
- Can be homozygous dominant (AA)
- Recessive - Only appears as the phenotype if 0 dominant
- Lowercase
- Can be homozygous recessive (aa)
Heterozygous - 2 different alleles for a gene (Aa)
Genotype - Combination of alleles (genetic make-up)
Phenotype - Physiological traits (expression of genotype)
Test Cross - Cross between unknown genotype with homozygous recessive
If the parent is homozygous dominant, all offspring
phenotypes are the dominant color.
If the parent is heterozygous dominant, offspring
phenotypes 50% dominant color, 50% recessive color.
Dihybrid Cross
