The process of passing genetic traits from parent to offspring.

• heredity

• trait

• allele

This allele's trait always expresses in the organism when the allele is present.

• recessive allele

• dominant allele

• present allele

An allele whose trait only shows up when no dominant allele is present.

• hidden allele

• dominant allele

• recessive allele

this term describes the chance of genetic combination.

• dominant

• recessive

• probability

We use this term to describe purebred (same) genetic combinations.

• homozygous

• hetrozygous

• allele

We use this term to describe two different genes for a trait (sometimes called hybrid).

• allele

• homozygous

• heterozygous

The father of genetics

• Gregor Mendel

• James Watson

• Francis Crick

An expressed characteristic passed on to offspring.

• protein

• trait

• DNA

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)

Sex cells are produced through the process of

• mitosis

• meiosis
