What rule states that previous events do not affect the probability of later ccurences of the same event? | Rule of Independent Events |
What trait(s) make us different from one another? | Individual Traits |
The cross of a homozygous recessive and an unknown genotype resulting in offspring with observable phenotypes is called what? | Test Cross |
