Inherited Traits
Physical traits passed from parents to offsprings, such as eye color or hair texture
Inherited traits
What do we call a trait that hides another trait
Dominant
The term for a genotype with two identical allele
Homozygous
The genotype Aa consists of 2 different alleles for a trait
heterozygous
The physical appearence or visible trait of an orgainsm
Phenotype
The specific form of gene that's masks or hides the presence of another allele
Dominant traits
What do we call a trait that gets masked whoever a dominant trait is there
recessive
The term for a genotype with 2 different allels
Heterozygous
The letters on the outside of a Punnett square represents the _ of the parents
genotypes
An organism with 2 identical alleles for a particular trait
homozygous
An example of a human trait that is not inhereted but instead learned
Skill

genotype
An example of a homozygous recessive genotype using the letter t
tt
In a cross with a BB and bb what is the probability of the offspring being heterozygous
100%
The allele that is always expressed when present
dominant allele
If a mom has AA for curly hair and dad has AA for straight hair what percent will the child be heterozygous
100%
What is a thing that carries a different traits called
heterozygous
This type of allele is only expressed in the phenotype when the genotype is hommozygous
recessive allele
A Punnett square shows the _ of a genetic cross not the exact guaranteed results
probability
The Austrian monk also known as the father of genetics
Greger Mendel
A trait that can only be expressed if the organism is homozygpous recessive for that trait
recessive trait
What is a segment of DNA
gene
The set of genes in our DNA responsible for a particular trait
genotype
If both parents are heterozygous (Bb) for a trait, what is the percentage of offsprings that will show the recessive trait
25%
A cross used to determine the unkown genotype of a dominant expressing individual by crossing with a recessive
