| Heterozygous | An organism that shows two different traits |
| codominance | The alleles are neither dominant or recessive |
| What is probability and how does it help explain the results of genetic crosses? | Probability is the number that describes how likely the event will occur. It helps explain because if there wasn't probability, it would be harder to guess at things. Like if someone's dad was a homozygous recessive blue eyed. And the mother was heterozy- |
| gous brown eyes. How would they know what color eyes the child would have it woud be 50%. | |
