Dominant & Recessive
his type of allele overpowers or "rules" and is represented by a capital letter
What is Dominant?
This term refers to the actual letters that make up a genetic trait, such as AA, Aa, or aa.
What is Genotype?
This term means "the same" and is also referred to as a "purebred".
What is Homozygous?
If two homozygous dominant parents (HH x HH) mate, this is the percentage chance the offspring will have straight hair (hh).
What is 0%?
If Green body color (G) is dominant to pink (g), this is the genotype for a Purebred Green Body.
What is GG?
This trait is only physically seen when there are two of these specific alleles present
What is Recessive?
This term describes what you physically see, such as brown hair.
What is Phenotype?
This term means "different" and is also referred to as a "hybrid".
What is Heterozygous?
In a cross between two homozygous dominant parents, all four offspring will have this specific genotype.
What is HH?
If Green body color (G) is dominant, this is the genotype for a Purebred Pink Body.
What is gg?
Between the examples "bb", "cC", and "HH", this one is considered dominant because it contains a capital letter.
What is HH?
Between "Blue eyes" and "LL", this is the one that serves as an example of a genotype.
What is LL?
"Aa" is a classic example of this type of genetic combination.
What is Heterozygous (or Hybrid)?
If one hybrid parent (Hh) mates with a purebred straight hair individual (hh), this is the percentage chance of offspring having curly hair.
What is 50%?
This is the genotype for a "Hybrid Body" color.
What is Gg?
This type of allele is always represented by a lowercase letter.
What is Recessive?
Having curly hair is an example of this genetic term because it is a physical characteristic.
What is Phenotype?
"kk" and "TT" are both examples of this, because they contain the same type of letter.
What is Homozygous (or Purebred)?
If one hybrid parent (Hh) mates with a purebred straight hair individual (hh), this is the percentage chance of offspring having straight hair.
What is 50%?
When crossing two hybrid parents (Gg x Gg), this is the percentage of offspring that will be homozygous dominant (GG).
What is 25%?
In the set "bb", "cC", and "HH", this is the only one considered recessive because it has two lowercase letters.
What is bb?
While "bb" is a genotype, "having blue eyes" would be the corresponding ____.
What is Phenotype?
Because it contains different types of letters (one capital, one lowercase), "Nn" is an example of this.
What is Heterozygous (or Hybrid)?
In the cross Hh x hh, these are the two genotypes that will appear in the offspring.
What are Hh and hh?
When crossing two hybrid parents (Gg x Gg), this is the percentage of offspring that will also be hybrid (Gg).
What is 50%?
