Alleles Alleles are the pair of genes controlling a pair of Contrasting characters.
Multiple Alleles: If a gene undergoes mutation . it can exist more than two or more forms are called Multiple Alleles.
[Information gathered from various sources on Internet, purely for Learning purpose]
Phenotype: (Tall x Dwarf)
It is the total external expressions or Appearence of an rganism for a Particular character. Irrespective of its Geneotype.
Genotype: (TT x tt)
It is the Genetic constitution of an organism for a Particular Character. or Which is responsible for Phenotypic Expression.
Homozygous Condition- (Tallness TT) Organism having two simillar genes for a Particular Character on Homologous Chromosomes.
Heterozygous Condition–(Tallness Tt) Organism having two Dissimilar genes for a Particular Character on Homologous Chromosomes.
Dominant Gene The Gene which expresses its Character in the Hybrid is called Dominant Gene.
Recessive Gene: The Gene which fails to express its Character in the Hybrid is called Recessive Gene.
PureLine: The individual with homozygous traits obtained due to continues self breeding over 3 to 4 Generations.
Hybrid: It is an offspring obtained when a cross between the 2 Parents which are differ in one or two Character.
Monohybrid: It is a cross between two parents which differ in one Character.
Dihybrid: it is a cross between two parents which differ in two characters.
Checkerboard or Punnet Square: it is a schematic table used to determin the various combinations of Genotype and Phenotypes of offsprings in a cross. The Genotypes of F1 and F2 are Schematically represented is called Checkerboard.
Allelomorphs: The Genes controlling Height in Pea plants has two Contrasting forms.Namely , Genes for Tallness T and Genes for Dwarfness t , these two genes constitute the Alleles and Occupy the Same Locus on the Homologous Chromosomes.
