Inheriting Genes

The offspring of a cross between parents that have contrasting traits:

• purebred

• hybrid

• dominant

• recessive

When the two alleles of a particular gene are different:

• heterozygous

• homozygous

• genotype

• phenotype

The allele that is fully expressed by itself:

• recessive

• homozygous

• dominant

• heterozygous

A diagram used to predict the outcomes of a genetic cross:

• karyotype

• Punnett Square

• Pedigree

• Venn diagram

The allele that is not expressed when the dominant corresponding allele is present:

• dominant

• heterozygous

• recessive

• homozygous

A version of a gene:

• allele

• trait

• character

• generation

When the two alleles of a particular gene are the same:

• homozygous

• genotype

• heterozygous

• phenotype

Dominant alleles are represented with a:

• capital letter

• lower case letter

• shape

• symbol

A detectable trait or traits that result from the genotype such as color, shape, etc:

• genotype

• homozygous

• heterozygous

• phenotype

The passing of genetic traits from parents to offspring:

• geneology

• heredity

• cellology

• physiology
