 * Ginger and Cody's Awsome Heredity Page

True Breeding-** A plant is true breeding if it only shows one form of a trait after several of self-pollination
 * Monohybrid Cross-** Cross that involves only one trait
 * Parental Generation- F**irst two individuals being crossed in a breeding experiment
 * First Filial Generation-** offspring from the P1 crossing
 * Second Filial Generation-** These are the offspring of the F1 generation self-pollinating
 * Homozygous-** If the 2 alleles that are present for a particular gene are the same, the individual is homozygous for that trait (PP) (pp)
 * Heterozygous-** If two alleles are different, the allele is called heterozygous for that trait. (Pp)
 * Law of Segregation-** the two alleles for a trait separate during gamete formation
 * Law of Independent Assortment-** The chromosomes line up independently, the inheritance of 1 trait is not influenced by any other traits because the tetrads and chromosomes line up independently
 * Punnett Square-** a diagram that predicts the outcomes of a cross by showing all the possible genotypes and phenotypes. The genotype of the parents are written across the top and down the left side.


 * Monohybrid Cross-**
