| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Homozygos | An organism with two of the same alleles fora specific trait |
| Heterozygos | An organism with two different alleles fora specific trait |
| allele | Alternative form that a single gene maw have for a particular |
| Genotype | An organism's allele pairs |
| Phenotype | an organism depends on which genes are dominant and on the interaction between genes and environment. Compare genotype. |
| codominance | Complex inheritance pattern that occurs when neither allele is dominate and both alleles are dominate |
| Incomplete Dominance | A kind of dominance occurring in heterozygotes in which the dominant allele is only partially expressed, and usually resulting in an offspring with an intermediate phenotype. |
| Law of independent Assortment | a principle in genetics: hereditary units occur in pairs that separate during gamete formation so that every gamete receives but one member of a pair —called also law of segregation |
| law of segregation | stating that during the production of gametes the two copies of each hereditary factor segregate so that offspring acquire one factor from each parent. |
| Hybrid | organism heterozygous for a specific trait |
