Term
Definition
homozygous   having identical alleles for a given trait  
🗑
heterozygous   having 2 different alleles for a given trait  
🗑
recessive   trait that is masked by the dominant allele  
🗑
dominant   trait that is visible  
🗑
genetics   the area of science that studies heredity  
🗑
genotype   genetic makeup of an individual  
🗑
phenotype   observed traits described in words  
🗑
hybrid   a heterozygous individual  
🗑
gene   a specific trait  
🗑
allele   one of two or more possible forms of a gene  
🗑
Mendel   the "father" of genetics  
🗑
Punnett square   a method used to establish the probabilities of the result of a genetic cross  
🗑
dihybrid cross   TtBb X TtBb  
🗑
homozygous dominant   TT  
🗑
homozygous recessive   tt  
🗑
heterozygous   Tt  
🗑
intermediate inheritance   blending (red + white = pink)  
🗑
principle of independent assortment   traits located on different chromosomes sort out independent of one another  
🗑
principle of dominance and recessiveness   if a dominant gene is present, it will show up. Both alleles have to be recessive to show recessive.  
🗑
principle of the law of segregation   recessive traits can show up generations later when the recessive alleles pair up again  
🗑
