traitoutward characteristic (or behavior)
geneslocated on chromosome; responsible for traits
Dominatetrait that shows up ("bully"; capitalized
recessivetrait that is "hidden"
homozygous (trait)having two of the same alles (TT or tt)
heterozygoushaving one of each allele for a trait (Tt, Bb)
Reginald Punnettanalyzed Mendel's genetic work; Squres named for him
phenotypetrait which shows up -- is seen
