Understanding inheritance

________ is how a trait appears, or is expressed. The part we can see.

• Alleles

• Genotype

• Phenotype

• Genes

A __________ is a model used to predict possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring.

• Pedigree

• Punnett Square

• Codominance

• Genetic Make-up

_________ is when the two alleles of a gene are different. Rr

• Heterozygous

• Genotype

• Phenotype

• Homozygous

__________ is when the two alleles of a gene are the same. RR and rr

• Heterozygous

• Genotype

• Phenotype

• Homozygous

An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present. The "weaker" gene. 

• Dominant Allele
• Recessive Allele

An allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present. The "stronger" gene. 

• Dominant Allele
• Recessive Allele

An organism’s genetic makeup or allele combination.

Cannot be seen. It is the code inside

• Genotype

• Phenotype

• Beanotype

• Notype

Is it possible for a visible trait to skip a generation? Example: Blue eyes

• Yes
• No
