| heredity | traits that are passed from generation to generation |
| monohybrid | one trait cross |
| punnett square | checker board that shows possibilities of offspring |
| independent assortment | a law that states that chromatids will separate creating diversity |
| dominant | the strong allele that can mask the other allele |
| recessive | the weaker allele that can not mask the other allele |
| homozygous | purebred, both alleles are the same |
| heterozygous | hybrid, both alleles are different |
| genotype | tells the alleles of an individual (ex. TT) |
| phenotype | the physical appearance of an individual (ex. Tall) |
| genotypic ratio | # homozygous dom.: # heterozygous: # homozygous rec. |
