Dominate
What is a factor that covers up another factor

Multiple Alleles
What is it when more than two alleles control a trait such as blood type
100
Genetic Engineering
What is the use of biological and chemical methods to change the arrangement of DNA that make up genes

Pea Plants
What kind of plants was Gregor Mendel most famous for experimenting with
100
the Principle of Dominance
What states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive
200
Genetics
What is the study of Heredity
200
Polygenic Inheritance
What is it when a group of gene pairs act together such as gene pairs responsible for hair color
200
Homozygous
What is it when there are two alleles that are exactly the same
200
True Breeding
What is it called when plants are not allowed to self-pollinate
200
They reappear
What happens to traits controlled by recessive alleles
300
Recessive
What is a factor that seems to disappear
300
Pedigree
What is a tool for tracing a trait through animals
300
Alleles
What is the different forms a gene has for a trait
300
Trait
What is a specific characteristic such as color, height, or texture
300
Segregation
What is the separation of alleles
400
Heredity
What is the passing on of traits from parents to offspring
400
Incomplete Dominance
What is it when an intermediate form is expressed in offspring such as red and white four oclock flowers form pink
400
Phenotype
What is the physical appearance of an organism - what it actually looks like
400
Hydrids
What is an offspring between parents with different traits
400
Heterozygous
organisms with 2 different alleles for the same trait
500
Punnett Square
What is a genetics tool (or graphic organizer) that uses letters to represent dominant and recessive alleles
500
Probability
What is the chance that something will occur or the odds of having a trait
500
Genotype
What is the genetic makeup of an organism
500
Genes
What is the factor that determines traits

Homozyous
What are organisms with 2 identical alleles for the same trait
