| Science that deals with heredity | genetics |
| Gregor Mendel | father of genetics |
| In humans height is a | continuous trait |
| Peas have several traits for | which there are only two forms |
| Hybridization | different forms of the same trait |
| Two or more forms of a gene | are alleles |
| Inherited traits are controlled | and passed on by genes |
| An individual has two alleles for | every gene |
| Genotype is the set of alleles | possessed by an individual for a given trait |
| Both alleles are of the same type | homozygous |
| Genotype | a particular combination of alleles |
| Genotypes provide the potential | for particular traits |
| Huntington's disease is a genetic | disease caused by a dominant allele |
| Incomplete dominance occurs | when none of the alleles are completly dominant |
| Red and white flowers are crossed | producing pink flowers is a sign of incomplete dominance |
| A, B, AB, O | blood types |
| Inherited traits are controlled | and passed on by genes |
| A grid for determining possible genotypes | Punnett square |
| Genotype | Set of alleles for a given trait |
