Alleles<\/strong><\/em> Alleles are the pair of genes controlling a pair of Contrasting characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple Alleles:<\/em><\/strong> If a gene undergoes mutation . it can exist more than two or more forms are called Multiple Alleles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phenotype:<\/em><\/strong> (Tall x Dwarf)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the total external expressions or Appearence of an rganism for a Particular character. Irrespective of its Geneotype.<\/p>\n\n\n

Genotype:<\/em><\/strong> (TT x tt)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the Genetic constitution of an organism for a Particular Character. or Which is responsible for Phenotypic Expression.<\/p>\n\n\n

Homozygous Condition-<\/strong><\/em> (Tallness TT)<\/em> Organism having two simillar genes for a Particular Character on Homologous Chromosomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heterozygous Condition<\/em><\/strong>–(Tallness Tt)<\/em> Organism having two Dissimilar genes for a Particular Character on Homologous Chromosomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dominant Gene<\/em><\/strong> The Gene which expresses its Character in the Hybrid is called Dominant Gene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recessive Gene:<\/em><\/strong> The Gene which fails to express its Character in the Hybrid is called Recessive Gene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PureLine:<\/em><\/strong> The individual with homozygous traits obtained due to continues self breeding over 3 to 4 Generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid: <\/em><\/strong>It is an offspring obtained when a cross between the 2 Parents which are differ in one or two Character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monohybrid:<\/em><\/strong> It is a cross between two parents which differ in one Character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dihybrid:<\/em><\/strong> it is a cross between two parents which differ in two characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checkerboard or Punnet Square:<\/em><\/strong> it is a schematic table used to determin the various combinations of Genotype and Phenotypes<\/em> of offsprings in a cross. The Genotypes<\/em> of F1<\/em> and F2<\/em> are Schematically represented is called Checkerboard.<\/p>\n\n\n

Allelomorphs:<\/em><\/strong> The Genes controlling Height in Pea plants has two Contrasting forms.Namely , Genes for Tallness T <\/span><\/em>and Genes for Dwarfness t <\/em><\/span>, these two genes constitute the Alleles and Occupy the Same Locus on the Homologous Chromosomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
