400
The offspring of parents with different traits
What is a hybrid?
400
Traits that are controlled by more than one gene
What are polygenic traits?
400
The physical characteristics of an organism
What is phenotype?
400
The stage of meiosis in which fibers pull chromosomes to the opposite sides of the cell

What are true-breeding plants?
500
An example of this form of allele dominance is a red and white rose making a pink one
What is incomplete dominance?
500
States that alleles for different traits separate without influence from other alleles during the formation of gametes
