Principle of Segregation
monohybrid cross
homozygous
The offspring produced when two haploid gametes containing the same allele fuse during fertilization.
To follow the behavior of two variations of a single trait in a cross.
The total set of alleles that an individual contains
The first law of heredity states that two alleles for a gene segregate during gamete formation.
The offspring produced when two haploid gametes containing different alleles fuse during fertilization.
The alternative forms of a single gene that exist in a population.

Question 2 options:
codominant
incomplete dominance
pleiotropic
continuous variation
polygenic inheritance
epistasis
The heterozygote is intermediate in appearance between the two homozygotes.
A gradation that results from a contribution of different combinations of alleles to a single trait.
An allele that has more than one effect on the phenotype of an individual.
Each allele has its own effect and some aspect of both alleles is seen in the heterozygote.
A situation in which the expression of one gene influences the phenotypic expression of a second.
The action of more than one gene can affect a single trait.

Explanation / Answer
1. Q.
Genotype- Total set of alleles that an individual contains
Heterozygous - The offsprings produced when two haploid gametes containg different alleles fused
Alleles - The alternative forms of a single gene that exist in a population
Principle of segregation - The first law of hereditary states that two alleles of a gene segregates during the formation of gametes
Monohybrid cross - To follow the behaviour of two variations of single trait in a cross
Homozygous - The offsprings produced when two haploid gametes containing the same alleles fused.
Q.2
Codominant - Each allele has its own effect and some aspects of both alleles is seen in the heterozygous condition
Incomplete dominance - The heterozygote is intermediate in appearance between the two homozygotes
Pleiotropic - An allele that has more than one effect on the phenotype of an individual.
Continuous variation- A gradation that results from contribution of different combinations of alleles
Polygenic inheritance - The action of more than one gene can affect a single trait
Epistasis- A situation in which expression of one gene influences the phenotypic expression
