| A | B |
| Genetics | Study of Heredity |
| Trait | Specific characteristic |
| Hybrid | the off spring of crosses between parents with different traits |
| Gene | the chemical factors that determine traits |
| Alleles | different forms of a gene |
| Principle of dominance | The dominant gene takes precedence over the recessive gene |
| Gamete | reproductive cell |
| Probability | The likelihood that something will happen |
| Punnett Square | diagram showing possible gene combinations |
| Segregation | separation of alleles during gamete formation |
| Homozygous | Organism that has two identical alleles for a particular trait.ex-TT or tt |
| Heterozygous | organism that has two different alleles for that same trait.Ex-Tt |
| Phenotype | The physical characteristics of an organism |
| Genotye | The genetic make up |
