USING LAWS OF INHERITANCE TO PREDICT GENOTYPES AND PHENOTYPES

complete dominance

For some genes, one allele completely masks the expression of the other allele. This mode of inheritance is called _______ ___________

testcross

A ________ is a simple technique wherein the individual with the dominant phenotype is crossed with or mated with a recessive individual.

forked-line method

This method does not require the identification and enumeration of the alleles of each parent and combining them in square-like units. Rather, each of the monohybrid crosses in the problem is analyzed for their outcomes.

Probability

_________ refers to the mathematical measurement of likelihood or chance.

product rule of probability

According to the ______ ___ __ _________, the chance of two or more independent events to occur together is equal to the product of their individual probabilities.

sum rule of probability

According to this rule, the probability of either of two mutually exclusive events occurring is equal to the sum of their individual probabilities.
