| Genes | Passed from one generation to the next. Determine an individual's characteristic |
| Alleles | The different forms of a gene |
| Some alleles are dominant, some recessive | Principle of Dominance |
| Separation of alleles during gamete formation | Segregation |
| Genotype | Genetic makeup |
| Phenotype | Physical traits |
| Two organisms may share the same ______but have different _____. | Phenotype; genotype |
| Homozygous | Two identical alleles for a gene |
| Heterozygous | Two different alleles for a gene |
| One allele is not completely dominant over another | Incomplete dominance |
| The phenotypes for both alleles are clearly expressed | Codominance |
| Many genes exist in more than two forms | Multiple allele |
| Many traits are produced by the interaction of several genes | Polygenic Traits |
