• heterozygous
• homozygous
• hybrid
• recessive

When an organism has two alleles that are DIFFERENT for a trait

• heterozygous
• Hybrid
• Pheotype
• DNA

The outward physical appearance and behavior of an organism as a result of its genotype

• Dominant
• Phenotype
• Recessive
• Punnett Square

The genetic material of all organisms; made up of two twisted strands

• Recessive
• Punnett Square
• Dominant
• DNA

Offspring that was given different genetic information from each parent (a "cross" between two parents

• Phenotype
• Hybrid
• Incomplete Dominance
• DNA

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Produces a phenotype that is intermediate between the two parents (a "mixture" of the two forms of the trait)

• hybrid
• incomplete dominance
• pink
• red

The trait that covers up or dominates another form of the trait

• recessive
• dominant
• strong
• weak

Tool used to predict the probability of certain traits in offspring that shows the ways the alleles can combine

• recessive
• Punnett Square
• genotype
• DNA

The trait that is covered over by another form of the trait; it seems to disappear

• dominant
• recessive
• weak
• strong
