Biology Final: Module 8 (A+ Graded 100% Verified) True Breeding - If any organism has a certain characteristic that is always passed on to its offspri ng, we say that this organism bred true with respect to that characteristic. Allele - One of a pair of genes that occupies that same position on homologous chromosomes Recessive Allele - An allele that will not determine the phenotype unless the geno type is homozygous in that allele Monohybrid Cross - A cross between two individuals, concentrating on only one definable trait Dihybrid Cross - A cross between two individuals, concentrating on two definable traits Autosomal inheritance - Inheritance of a genetic trait not on a sex chromosome Phenotype - The observable expression of an organism's genes Dominant Allele - An allele that will determine phenotype if just one is present in the genotype Autosomes - Chromosomes that do no t determine the sex of an individual Antigen - A protein that when introduced in the blood, triggers the production of an antibody Mutation - A radical chemical change in one or more alleles Who is the father of modern genetics? - Gregor Mendel Mendel's 4 principles of genetics - 1) The traits of an organism are determined by its genes 2) Each organism has two alleles that make up the genotype for a given unit 3) In sexual reproduction, each parent contributes only one of its alleles to the offs pring. 4) In each genotype, there is a dominant allele. If it exists in an organism, the phenotype is determined by that allele
