When an individual has two different alleles, whether dominant or recessive
the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment
a mature haploid male or female germ cell that is able to unite with another of the opposite sex in sexual reproduction to form a zygote
cross breed, is the result of mixing, through sexual reproduction, two animals or plants of different breeds, varieties, species or genera
one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome
A trait that is controlled by a group of nonallelic genes.
predicting the outcome of a genetic cross or of a random experiment
stating that when two or more characteristics are inherited, individual hereditary factors assort independently during gamete production, giving different traits an equal opportunity of occurring together
is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele
a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring
A cell or an organism consisting of two sets of chromosomes: usually, one set from the mother and another set from the father. In a diploid state the haploid number is doubled, thus, this condition is also known as 2n
the exchange of genes between homologous chromosomes, resulting in a mixture of parental characteristics in offspring

the action or process of fertilizing an egg, female animal, or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote

A condition in which both alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are fully expressed, with neither one being dominant or recessive to the other
structure is an organ, system, or body part that shares a common ancestry in multiple organisms
the study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics
a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell
