Genetics

Match it! Select the correct answer from the pull down...Good luck!

The process of selecting a few organisms with desired traits to serve as parents of the next generation; organisms with desirable characteristics are mated

An organism having 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles for a trait; pure or purebred

two parent cells join together to form offspring that are different from both parents

An organism having 1 dominant and 1 recessive allele for a trait; hybrid

Features that have different forms in a population (Ex. humans - hair color)

A genetically determined characteristic (ex. brown hair, blond hair)

The joining of a sperm to an egg; the union of sex cells that produce an offspring

only one parent is needed; new cells are exact replica of parent cell
