• water to rain
• parents to offspring
• fungi to protists

The different forms of a gene

• heredity

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

NGSS.HS-LS4-2

This trait always shows up in an organism when the allele is present

• dominant allele
• codominance
• probability
• recessive allele

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

This trait is hidden whenever the dominant allele is present

• dominant allele
• codominance
• recessive allele
• Punnett Square

When alleles are neither dominant nor recessive (As a result, both alleles are expressed in the offspring.).

• codominance
• probability
• recessive allele
• Punnett Square

An organism's physical appearance or visible traits

• fertilization
• genotype
• phenotype
• homozygous

NGSS.MS-LS3-1

NGSS.MS-LS4-4

An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combination

• fertilization
• genotype
• phenotype
• heterozygous

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

An organism that has two different alleles for a trait (hybrid)

• fertilization
• genotype
• homozygous
• heterozygous
