| Pure | The genes are the same |
| Hybrid | A mixture of genes- not pure |
| Incomplete Dominance | When neither gene is stronger (make a different triat) |
| Phenotype | Physical description of the gene |
| Genotype | Genetic description- the type of gene |
| Homozygous Dominant | Both genes are the same (BB) |
| Homozygous Recessive | Both genes are the same, but recessive (bb) |
| Heterozygous | Both different; Hybrid (Bb) |
