Answer:

Gene: The hereditary material made up of alleles.

Alleles: The alternative forms of a gene.

Dominant: An allele or trait that masks the effect of recessive allele or trait.

Recessive: An allele or trait that gets suppressed by the dominant allele or trait.

genotype: The genome of a particular organism of the genes which make up an organism.

phenotype: The physical traits or characteristics of an organism.

test- cross: A cross in which the dominant and the recessive trait offsprings are crossed to depict whether the dominant organism is homozygous or heterozygous.

law of independent assortment: Alleles of different genes get assorted independently into gametes.

law of segregation: allele pairs segregate during gamete formation and unite at the time of fertilization.

product rule: Independent evens can be calculated by multiplying the independent probabilities.

Addition rule: The probability which shows that one event would occur in a mutually exclusive event.

co-dominant: When the dominant and the recessive trait occur and the organism shows both the characteristics of the dominant and the recessive trait.

incomplete dominance: when the dominant trait is not fully dominant over the recessive trait. As a result, individuals are produced which show neither the dominant or the recessive trait. A new trait is developed in them.

Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth; thus Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a line. Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth and Sun all on a line. In this case the Earth's shadow hides the Moon from view.
