Dominant an allele that hides the presence of another allele THE ONE THAT SHOWS UP
Recessive an allele that is hidden by the presence of another allele THE ONE THAT IS HIDDEN
Allele one of a number of different forms of a gene
Incomplete Dominance situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another allele
Codominance situation in which the phenotypes produced by both alleles are completely expressed
Punnet Square diagram that can be used to predict the genotype and phenotype combinations of a genetic cross
Multiple Allele Trait a gene that has more than two alleles

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
