  1. Hybrid - An organism that has two alleles for a trait.
  2. Dominant - An allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when it is present.
  3. Gene - The set of information that controls a trait; in the DNA.
  4. Alleles - The different forms of a gene.
  5. Heredity - The passing of traits from parents to .
  6. Purebred - The offspring of many generations that have the same traits.
  7. Trait - A characteristic that an organism can pass to offspring through.
  8. Genetics - The scientific study of heredity.
  9. Probability - A that describes how likely it is that an event will occur. Word Bank: different two both progeny prevents events code cross trait homozygous ABO offspring genes expresses single many number physical combinations producing neither identical gamete independently
  1. Phenotype - An organism's appearance or visible traits.
  2. Recessive - An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present.
  3. Codominance - A condition in which the two alleles of a gene are dominant nor recessive.
  4. Heterozygous - Having different alleles for a trait.
  5. Genotype - An organism's genetic makeup or allele .
  6. Punnett Square - A chart that shows the possible combinations of alleles that result from a genetic .
  7. Homozygous - Having two alleles for a trait.
  8. Homozygous Dominant - When alleles are for the dominant trait.
  9. Homozygous Recessive - When both alleles are for the recessive.
  10. Law of Segregation - During formation the pairs of genes responsible for each trait segregate so that each gamete contains only one gene for that trait.
  11. Backcross - The cross of a with one of it's parents.
  12. Test Cross - The organism having the dominant phenotype is crossed with one having a recessive phenotype. This is done
