| P generation | Parent or first generation |
| F1 or first filial | offspring of the parent generation |
| F2 or second filial | offspring of the F1 generation |
| dominant allele | shown by a capital letter |
| shown by a lowercase letter | recessive gene |
| trait that always shows | dominant |
| trait that only shows if both alleles are for it | recessive |
| phenotype | what you look like due to genes you have |
| genotype | actual genes you have |
| probability | chances of inheriting a gene |
