the process in which traits are passed from parents to offspring.

the study of heredity and how traits in offspring are based upon those of the parents.

a grid system that can be set up and used to predict the possible outcomes that may result from the mating process between two individuals, when their genotypes are known

the genetic make-up of an organism.

all the forms of a gene for any given trait. There are usually two allele possibilities for every trait.

the physical result of a gene combination.

when one allele can mask the presence of another.

a characteristic that is masked by the presence of a dominant allele.

the occurrence where the paired alleles for a specific trait, are identical.

when the genes that an offspring receives are different
