Definition of dihybrid Cross- A cross that has two traits. Example Seed shape and Seed color
 * //Vocab!//**
 * True Breeding-** True-breeding is when a plant shows only one form of a trait after several generations of self-pollination.
 * Homozygous-** An individual is homozygous when the two alleles present for a gene are the same.
 * Punnett Square-** A punnett square predicts the outcomes of a cross through a diagram by showing all possible genotypes.
 * Dihybrid Cross-** The dihybrid cross involves two traits. EX: Round and Yellow crossed with Wrinkled and Green.
 * Law of Segregation-** The law of segregation is during gamete formation when the two alleles for a trait separate.
 * Law of Independent Assortment-** When one inheritance of a trait is not influenced by any other traits because the tetrads and chromosomes line up independently.
 * Heterozygous-** When the two alleles are different.
 * Probability-** The likelihood that an event will occur.
 * Monohybrid Cross-** A cross that only involves one trait.
 * Genetics-** The part of biology that is focusing on heredity.[[image:courtneys_and_austin_2.png]]

Definition of monohybrid cross- The cross that only has one trait. Example crossing Purple flowered plants with white flowered plants.
