The observable expression of a trait

• phenotype

• genotype

• chromosome

• allele

• homozygous

• heterozygous

• recessive

• dominant

When an organism has two different alleles, it is called

• homozygous

• heterozygous

• recessive

• dominant

This type of allele is expressed whether there are one or two copies present.

• dominant

• recessive

• homozygous

• heterozygous

These types of alleles are only expressed if the organism has two copies
