NGSS.HS-LS4-3

A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes

• protein
• trait
• DNA
• gene

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 genetic makeup, or allele combination

• fertilization
• genotype
• phenotype
• heterozygous

• fertilization
• genotype
• homozygous
• heterozygous
