  • Independent Assortment
    Mendelian principle stating that alleles of different genes distribute into gametes without influencing each other's inheritance.
  • Mendelian Inheritance
    Genetic transmission pattern based on Mendel's laws, assuming genes segregate and assort independently during gamete formation.
  • Dihybrid Cross
    Genetic cross examining the inheritance of two distinct traits, often used to demonstrate independent assortment.
  • Allele
    Alternative form of a gene found at a specific locus, contributing to variation in inherited traits.
  • Gene
    Unit of heredity composed of DNA, responsible for determining specific traits such as color or shape.
  • Gamete
    Sex cell, such as sperm or egg, carrying one allele for each gene, formed through independent assortment.
  • Genotype
    Genetic makeup of an organism, indicating the specific alleles present for one or more genes.
  • Trait
    Observable characteristic, such as color or shape, determined by specific genes and their alleles.
  • Linked Genes
    Genes located close together on the same chromosome, tending to be inherited together rather than assorting independently.
  • Segregation
    Process during gamete formation where alleles for a gene separate so each gamete receives only one allele.
  • Offspring
    Resulting individuals from a genetic cross, whose traits depend on the combination of parental alleles.
  • Combination
    Possible arrangement of alleles in gametes, reflecting the independent assortment of genes.
  • Chromosome
    Structure within cells that carries genetic information in the form of genes, influencing inheritance patterns.
  • Inheritance
    Transmission of genetic information from parents to offspring, governed by principles like independent assortment.
