Studying with Flashcards

When students utilize the flashcards that are contained in this set, they will become experts on the information found on the flashcards. Students can cater to their different learning preferences and styles by using these cards. If students are more of a visual learner, they can look at these flashcards and review them until they feel comfortable moving forward. If students are more of an auditory learner, they can instead read the flashcards out loud to reinforce the topics.

In addition, the flashcards are also mobile friendly. By having this feature, it allows students to study at their own pace and at their own comfort. Whether students prefer studying at home on the home computer or on a tablet, the options are endless. This gives students the chance and freedom to study when they want and where they want.

Allele

Locus
Specific location on a chromosome used as a reference for where a gene is found
Recessive trait
A trait that is not expressed when the alleles / genotype are heterozygous
Dominant trait
Trait that emerges when there's a heterozygous genotype, and is only seen when two copies of the gene are there
Percentage chance offspring will have the same trait that both parents possess
100%
Dihybrid cross
Cross between parents who are heterozygous on different areas of a trait
Diploid
A cell that has two complete sets of chromosomes
Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment
Occurs when alleles found in one gene sort the gametes separately from the alleles of another gene
