A plant with two dominant or two recessive alleles is said to be 

• heterozygous
• homozygous
• cross pollinating

The different forms of a gene that determine a characteristic are known as

• alleles
• albinism
• phenotype
• genes

What is a phenotype?

• the way an organism feels
• a dominant gene
• a group of 5 alleles
• the way an organism looks
