Genetics, the code unbroken
Genome Set of genes
Alleles Different forms of a gene that influences one characteristic
Agglutinate Clump together (as in red blood cells)
Polygenic Inheritance Characteristics that result from the interaction of a number of genes, often located on different chromosome
Somatic Cell Normal body cell (every other cell except gametic cell)
Gametic Cell Sex cell (sperm and ovum)
Diploid Number Number for full set of chromosomes [2N]
Haploid Number Half the number of a full set of chromosomes [N]
Test Cross Testing the genotype of an individual by crossing it with a homozygous recessive [If any offspring shows recessive characteristic, then the tested individual possesses the recessive allele]
Recombination The natural formation of genetic combinations in offspring that are not present in parents [Results from crossing over / independent assortment]
Law of Segregation [Refers to the formation of gametes – all crosses]
Factors for every characteristic occur in pairs
Each gamete contains only one of these factors
