| heredity | is the passing of traits from parents to offspring |
| alleles | are the different forms of a trait that a gene may have |
| genetics | is the study of of how traits are inherited through the interactions of the alleles |
| dominant | is the form that dominates or covers up the other form of the trait |
| recessive | the form that is covered up by the dominant form, and seems to disappear |
| hybrid | an offspring that was given different genetic information for a trait from each parent |
| phenotype | the way an organism looks or behaves as a result of its genotype, the trait that appears physically |
| genotype | the genetic makeup of the organism |
| Punnett square | is a tool used to predict results of Mendelian genetics |
| homozygous | is an organism with two alleles that are the same |
| heterozygous | is an organism that has two different alleles for a trait |
| Where are the alleles locate? | on chromosomes within the nucleus of cells |
| Who is the father of genetics | Gregor Mendel |
| purebred | is an organism that always produces the same traits generation after generation |
| What are traits controlled by? | alleles |
| An example of a homozygous organism for the brown eyecolor trait? | BB |
| an example of a heterozygous organism for the brown eye color | Bb |
| What part do genes play in gentics? | They determine the traits of an individual |
