Monohybrid Crosses (VCE SSCE Biology): Flashcards

Genetic cross observing inheritance of alleles for a single gene

Square diagram used to predict genotypes of offspring

One allele completely masks the effect of another allele

Has one dominant and one recessive allele

3:1 (dominant to recessive)

Two traits independently and equally expressed

On the X chromosome

Calculate separately for male and female offspring

Dominant phenotype crossed with homozygous recessive individual

Parent with dominant phenotype is heterozygous
