| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Phenotype | The observable expression of an organism's genes |
| Genotype | 2-letter set that represents the alleles an organism possesses for a certain trait |
| Allele | One of a pair of genes that occupies the same position on homologous chromosomes |
| Genome | A complete set of an organisms genetic information encoded in its DNA |
| Dominant Allele | An allele that will determine phenotype if just 1 is present in the genotype |
| Recessive Allele | An allele that will not determined the phenotype unless the genotype is homozygous in the allele |
| Testcross | Breeding an organism displaying the dominant phenotype but unknown genotype with a homozypous recessive organism |
| Homozygous Genotype | A genotype in which both alleles are identical |
