It is the carrier of genetic information and it is an self replicating material which is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes

A unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic off the offspring.

A trait that will appear in the offspring if one of the parents contributes it.

A trait that must be contributed by both parents in order to appear in offspring.

Having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes

A reproductive cell having the haploid number of chromosomes, especially a mature sperm or egg capable of fusing with a gamete of the opposite sex to produce a zygote.

The set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction b of its genotype with the environment

The genetic constitution of an individual organism.

A square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment

A type of reproduction which does not involve the fusion of gametes or change in the number of chromosomes
