Heredity - ANSWER The passing on of characteristics or traits to offspring
Dominate trait - ANSWER one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by
mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome
Phenotype - ANSWER Geneticists refer to how a trait appears, or is expressed
Homozygous - ANSWER When two alleles of a gene are the same, its genotype
Incomplete dominance - ANSWER is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one
allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele
Genetics - ANSWER The scientific study of heredity
Recessive traits - ANSWER A trait the can be carried in person gene without appearing
in the person
Allele - ANSWER The two genes that govern the same characteristics
Genotype - ANSWER The two alleles that control the phenotype of a trait
Heterozygous - ANSWER If two alleles of a gene are different
