| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person | Trait |
| An offspring of two animals or plants of different subspecies, breeds, varieties, species | Hybrid or Homozygous |
| Bred from parents of the same breed or variety | Purebred |
| Discovered the fundamental laws of inheritance. He deduced that genes come in pairs and are inherited as distinct units. | Gregor Mendel |
| Characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents | Recessive |
| two alleles are expressed to an equal degree, As a result, traits associated with each allele are displayed simultaneously. | Codomanince |
| The inheritance of a trait governed by more than one genes. | Polygenic Inheritance |
| one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome. | Allele |
| having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes. | Heterozygous |
| having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes. | Homozygous |
| a trait or gene that is shown over other traits. | Dominant |
| a chart that allows you to determine the expected percentages of different genotypes in the offspring of two parents. | Punnett Squares |
| the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment. | Phenotype |
| where both alleles of a gene at a locus are partially expressed, often resulting in an intermediate or different phenotype. | Incomplete Dominance |
| there are more than two phenotypes available depending on the dominant or recessive alleles that are available in the trait and the dominance pattern the individual alleles follow when combined together | Multiple allele Inheritance |
