| What is a genotype? | Information/code that is on DNA |
| What is an allele? | One of two or more forms of a gene. AA Aa aA aa |
| What is a gene? | A section of DNA that has the information to construct a protein |
| Why does Aa BB = 2n and ab =1n? | n=set 1n means one allele of each 2n means one allele of each from each parent |
| What is crossing over? | During meiosis 1 When sections of a chromosome are split off and swapped with the chromosome pair. |
| What is a dominant allele? | In the heterozygote, it is the information that determines the phenotype |
| What is a recessive allele? | In the heterozygote. it is the hidden information |
| What is a zygote? | A fertilized egg |
| What is homozygous? | Information on homologous chromosomes is the same |
| What is heterozygous? | Information on homologous chromosomes is different |
| What is a gene pool? | the stock of different genes in an interbreeding population |
