Genetics is the part of biology that studies on heredity. Heredity is the passing on of traits from parents to offspring. True breeding is if it shows one form of a trait after several generations of self pollination. Monohybrid Cross is a cross that involves one trait. Parental Generation - ( P1 ) These are the first two individuals that are crossed in a breeding experiment. First Filial Generation - ( F1 ) these are the offspring from the P1 Cross. Second Filial Generation - ( F2 ) these are the offspring of the F1 generation self-pollinating. Homozygous is the two alleles that are the same. Heterozygous is the two alleles that are different. Law of Segregation - the two alleles for a trait separate during gamete formation.

Monohybrid Cross- A cross between two individuals. Dihybrid Cross- A cross between offspring and 2 individuals.
