NGSS.HS-LS3-2

an organism's physical representation of its genotype

• asexual reproduction

• phenotype

• genotype

• physical characteristics

an allele that is fully expressed whenever the allele is present in an individual

• recessive

• dominant

• hybrid traits

• gene

describes an allele that will be masked unless the organism is homozygous for the trait

• dominant

• pure traits

• recessive

• complete dominance

when an organism has the same two alleles for a trait ex.TT

• heterozygous

• recessive

• homozygous

• heredity

when an organism has two different alleles for a trait ex. Tt

• homozygous

• chromosomes

• traits

• heterozygous

when an organism's traits alleles are the same either AA or aa ; same as homozygous

• hybrid trait

• sexual reproduction

• pure traits

• physical characteristics
