100
When the phenotype only shows up if there are two copies of the allele in the genotype the allele is called what?

200
The word for having 2 different alleles of a gene.
heterozygous
200
The purpose of a Punnett square.
to calculate the probability of the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring of a cross
200
When two different alleles are together, this type of trait needs only one for its phenotype to be displayed.
What is the dominant trait?
200
When the heterozygous phenotype is intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes (such as pink flowers instead of red or white).
What is incomplete dominance?

What kind of inheritance pattern is shown in this diagram?
Autosomal recessive
500
A heterozygous individual was crossed with an unknown individual. The offspring were 50% dominant trait and 50% recessive trait. Therefore, we know the genotype of the unknown.
What is that the unknown individual is homozygous recessive?
