Mendel's Laws of Heredity

Phenotype

• Different forms of a gene

• The way an organism looks

• Factors that determine traits

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

Heterozygous

• When two alleles for a trait are different.

• Different forms of a gene.

• Factors that determine traits

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Monohybrid Cross

• The allele combination of an organism.

• Different forms of a gene.

• This cross is used when studying one trait.

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

Law of Segregation

• Genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other

• Every organism has two alleles which seperate when gametes are produced.

• The way an organism looks and behaves.

Allele

• The way an organism looks and behaves

• Different forms of a gene

• Alleles for a trait are the same

Homozygous

• when two alleles for a trait are different

• Factors that determine traits

• Alleles for a trait are the same

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Dihybrid Cross

• Cross involves two traits being studied

• Factors that determine traits

• This cross is used when studying one trait

NGSS.HS-LS3-3

Law of Independent Assortment

• The way an organism looks and behaves

• Genes for different traits are inherited independently of each other

• Alleles for a trait are the same
