GENETICS

The branch of biology that studies genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms

Scientists widely know as the “father of genetics”

Most powerful, influential or successful in a given context of something

Only physically expressed when an individual inherits 2 copies from each parent

The mathematical measure of how likely an event is to occur

A specific, variant of a gene

Organism inherited two different versions of alleles from its biological parents (Bb)

Organism that carriers 2 identical copies of alleles for specific trait

A table in which all of the possible outcomes for a genetic code crossing between 2 individual

Specific characteristic or feature of an organism

An organism’s complete set of genetic make up

The observable, physical expression of the trait

Someone who has inherited an mutated gene but does not show any symptoms in regards of the gene

A genetic inheritance pattern where one allele blends with the other allele creating a new phenotype

A genetic characteristic controlled by genes located on the sex chromosomes

A genetic inheritance pattern where two different versions of the alleles are both fully and equally expressed in an individual

An organism that results from the interbreeding of two genetically distinct parents

A genetic process in which the parents with identical alleles consistently produce offspring with the same phenotype over multiple generations

Mutations that only occur in reproductive cells/gametes that CAN be passed down to offsprings

Possess homozygous alleles for a specific trait; purebred or “true-breeding”

Displays only dominant traits inherited from parents which masks recessive traits; heterozygous

A and B are codominant, o is recessive
