Term
Definition
Genotype   an organism's genetic makeup  
🗑
Phenotype   an organism's appearance  
🗑
Homozygous   when both alleles of a pair are alike  
🗑
Heterozygous   when the two alleles of a pair are different  
🗑
Probability   the likelihood that a specific event will occur  
🗑
Monohybrid Cross   a cross in which only one characteristic is tracked  
🗑
Punnett Square   a diagram biologists use that aid them in predicting the probable distribution of inherited traits in the offspring  
🗑
Genotypic Ratio   the ratio of the genotypes that appear in offspring  
🗑
Phenotypic Ratio   the ratio of the offspring's phenotypes  
🗑
Testcross   in which an individual of unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual; can determine the genotype of any individual whose phenotype expresses the dominant trait  
🗑
Complete Dominance   when one allele was completely dominant over another  
🗑
Incomplete Dominance   when the offspring have a phenotype in between that of the parents; occurs when the phenotype of a heterozygote is intermediate between the phenotypes determined by the dominant and recessive traits  
🗑
Codominance   occurs when both alleles for a gene are expressed in a heterozygous offspring; neither allele is dominant or recessive, nor do the alleles blend in the phenotype  
🗑
Dihybrid Cross   a cross in which two characteristics are tracked  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
