An organism with 2 different alleles for a trait is called a ______.
Hybrid/heterozygous
300
This shows all of the possible outcomes of a genetic cross.
Punnett square
300
This type of organism has 2 different alleles for a trait
Heterozygous
300
What happens when a recessive allele is paired up with a dominant allele?
It is hidden / doesn't show up
400
This is a number that describes how likely it is that an event will occur.
Probability
400
This type of organism has 2 dominant alleles for a trait.
Homozygous dominant
400
If a white flower and red flower are crossed, what color would the offspring be?
Pink...due to blending of the traits because of co-dominance in flower colors.
400
This occurs when 2 traits are neither dominant nor recessive, both show up.
co-dominant / codominance
400
This type of organism has 2 recessive alleles for a trait
Homozygous recessive
500
This is the passing of physical characteristics from parent to offspring.
