What does heterozygous mean?

• An organism that has the same genes for a trait (TT or tt)
• An organism that has different genes for a trait (Tt)
• When neither gene is fully dominant; offspring is a mixture of both
• the different forms of a trait (hair color--> brown, blonde, red

Term for homozygous organisms that display two dominant phenotypes at the same time

• codominance
• incomplete dominance
• multiple alleles
• linked genes

Incomplete dominance means that the traits are

• expressed equally
• dominant
• recessive
• blended
