One of two or more alternative forms of a gene.

An allele that masks the presence of a recessive allele in the phenotype.

The scientific study of heredity and variation in organisms.

The genetic makeup of an individual (e.g., AA, Aa, or aa).

An organism that has two different alleles for a specific trait.

An organism that has two identical alleles for a specific trait. (Note: Image says "hemozygote," likely a typo).

The offspring resulting from combining the qualities of two organisms of different breeds or species.

law of independent assortment

Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes.

Two alleles for a trait separate during gamete formation and end up in different gametes.

The specific physical location of a gene or DNA sequence on a chromosome.

The observable physical characteristics or traits of an organism.

Fine dust containing the male gametes of seed plants.

The transfer of pollen to a stigma, ovule, flower, or plant to allow fertilization.

An allele that is masked by a dominant allele and only expressed in a homozygous state.

A relationship between two versions of a gene where both alleles are fully expressed.

A pattern of inheritance where one allele is not completely dominant over another, resulting in a blended phenotype.

polygenic characteristic

A trait that is influenced by two or more genes (e.g., skin color).

The likelihood or chance that a particular event will occur.

is a graphical representation used to predict the possible genotypes of offspring from a specific cross or breeding experiment.
