A piece of DNA that has introductions to make a protein?
A gene
Have 2 different alleles at a locus
Heterozygous
The parent generation, followed by their offspring known as the first and second filial generations
P, F1, and F2 generations
A cross between an individual with a dominant phenotype and one with a recessive phenotype used to determine an unknown genotype

Specific location of a gene
A loci (or locus) "Loca"

A phenotype
Inheritance patterns where a heterozygous individual is a mix of 2 traits, or shows both traits
Incomplete dominance and codominance
A mutation where one nucleotide is substituted for another
point mutation

Environmental agents that can change a DNA sequence?
A mutagen
The allele that is expressed over the other
Dominant
Traits controlled by many genes, or genes that modify the expression of another gene
polygenic traits and epistasis
The addition or deletion of a DNA nucleotide that causes a shift in the reading frame to make proteins
