The combination of alleles (the letters) is called the 

• genotype
• phenotype
• heterozygous
• homozygous

_____________________ is the appearance of an organism, or how it looks

• phenotype
• genotype
• recessive trait
• heredity

having two different alleles (different letters) for a trait 

• protein
• homozygous
• heterozygous
• DNA

A matching pair of alleles (same letter) are called 

• dominant
• recessive
• heterozygous
• homozygous

Dominant alleles are represented by a:

• Male gene
• lowercase letter
• recessive trait
• capital letter

Recessive alleles are represented by a:

• Male gene
• lowercase letter
• recessive trait
• capital letter

A heterozygous yellow pea plant's genotype would be:

• YY
• yy
• Yy
• Yg
