Which of the following is a phenotype?

• BB
• Bb
• bb
• Blue eyes

What is a phenotype

• The genetic make up (code)
• The physical trait

having two of the same genes for the trait (sometimes called purebred).

• homozygous
• hetrozygous
• protein
• chromosome

having two different genes for a trait (sometimes called hybrid).

• protein
• homozygous
• heterozygous
• genotype

An allele whose trait only shows up when no dominant allele is present.

• hidden allele
• dominant allele
• recessive allele
• present allele

What does heterozygous mean?

• An organism that has the same genes for a trait (TT or tt)
• An organism that has different genes for a trait (Tt)
• When neither gene is fully dominant; offspring is a mixture of both
• the different forms of a trait (hair color--> brown, blonde, red

• complete dominance
• recessive pattern
