Principles of Heredity Heredity is the transmission of parents’ character traits to their offspring.
Crossbreeding A pure line is a group of individuals of the same species, which, for a specific character trait, produces only offspring with the same trait, without variation.
Crossbreeding Crossbreeding is the exchange of gametes between two different individuals during sexual reproduction.
Hybrid • A hybrid is an individual obtained by the crossbreeding of two genetically different individuals. • A generation is a group of individuals descended from common parents.
An allele is a possible form of a gene. Different alleles have different nucleotide sequences.
Dominant vs. Recessive DOMINANT recessive Brown Blue Brown
Genotype vs. Phenotype • A genotype is an individual’s genetic inheritance (all alleles). • A phenotype is the expression of the genotype (expressed allele).
Law of Segregation of Alleles • In meiosis, gametes are produced containing half of the chromosomes. • Two alleles for a particular character trait separate when gametes are formed.
