| specific characteristic such as a seed color or plant hieght of an indiviual | trait |

| the factors that are passed from parent to offspring | genes |
| the different forms of genes are known as | alleles |
| that some alleles are dominant and some are recessive | principle of dominance |
| separation of alleles | segregation |
| sex cells | gametes |
| the likelihood that a particular event will occur | probability |
| organisms that have the same two identical alleles for a particular gene | homozygous |
| organisms that have two different alleles for the same gene | heterozygous |
| when something has the same physical traits | phenotype |
| when things have the same gentic makeup | genotype |
| one of the best ways to predict the outcome of a genetic cross is by drawing a | punnett square |
