| A | B |
|---|
| Dominant vs recessive | dominant is a gene that is dominant over a set of genes, while recessive is a gene that does not have dominance |
| Incomplete dominance | two or more alleles influence the phenotype and results in a phenotype intermediate between the dominant trait and the recessive trait |
| Co-dominance | occurs between both alleles of a gene are expressed in heterozygous offspring |
| Random segregation | each gamete receives only one copy of each gene, the gametes that combine in fertilization have random copies of each gene |
| Independent assortment | genes along separate chromosomes independently of each other sort during meiosis |
| Homozygous vs heterozygous | homozygous is when both pairs of allele’s are alike while heterozygous is when two alleles in a pair are different |
| Purebred vs hybrid | purebred: parent plant vs. hybrid: F1 or F2 generation plants |
| Genotype vs phenotype | genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism vs phenotype is the appearance of an organism |
| Monohydrid cross | when a characteristic is tracked |
| Test cross | when an individual of an unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual can be used to determine the genotype |
| Dihybrid cross | a cross in which two characteristics are tracked |
