Definitions you should probably know:


 * genetics-the branch of biology that focuses on heredity
 * recall-heredity is the passing on of traits from parents to offspring
 * true breeding-a plant is true-breeding if it only shows one form of a trait after several generations of self-pollination
 * monohybrid cross-a cross that involves only one trait
 * homozygous-if the two alleles that are present for a particular gene are same, the individual is homozygous
 * heterozygous-if the two alleles are different, the individual is called heterozygous for that trait
 * genotype-the set of alleles an individual has
 * phenotype-physical appearance of trait
 * dihybrid cross-a cross that involves two traits
 * Law of Segregation-the two alleles for a trait seperate during gamete formation
 * Law of Independent Assortment-the inheritance of one trait because the tetrads and chromosomes line up independently
