Phenotype

Front

What are alleles?

Back

Different forms of a gene that determine specific traits.

Front

What does homozygous mean?

Back

Having two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., TT or tt).

Front

What does heterozygous mean?

Back

Having two different alleles for a particular gene (e.g., Tt).

Back

A diagram used to predict the outcome of a genetic cross.

Front

What is the difference between genotype and phenotype?

Back

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup, while phenotype refers to the physical appearance.
