| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| An allele whose trait always shows up in the organism whent he allele is present | Dominant Allele |
| A chart that show all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross | Punnett Square |
| Genotype that has two different alleles for a trait, also called a hybrid | Heterozygouse |
| The passing of physical traits from parents to offspring | Hereditary |
| The scientific study of heredity | Genetics |
| To predict the results of a particular event, it is a number that describes how liekly it is that a certain event will occur | Probability |
| The offspring of many generations that have the same trait | Purebread |
| An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations | Genotype |
| The characteristics that an organizm can pass on to its offspring through its genes | Traits |
| A condition in which neither of two alleles of a gene is dominant or recessive. As a result, both alleles are epressed in the offspring. (Rooster with one parent black and the other white has both colors in its feathers.) | Codominance |
| The factors that controls a trait and is a segmanr of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait | Gene |
| An organism that has two different alleles for a trait. An organism that is heterozygous for a particular trait | Hybrid |
| Genotype that has two identical alleles for a trait (HH or hh) | Homozygous |
| The joinging of a sperm and an egg, which beigns an organism's development | Fertalization |
| An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present. It will show only when no dominant allele is present | Recessive Allele |
| An organism's physical appearance, or visible traits | Phenotype |
| Are the different forms of genes | Alleles |
