Mendelian Genetics Vocab Check

An organism's appearance or physical traits.

• genotype

• phenotype

• homozygous

• heterozygous

An organism's genetic makeup consisting of a pair of alleles for a certain gene.

• genotype

• phenotype

• homozygous

• heterozygous

The idea that for any particular trait, the pair of alleles of each parent separate and only one allele from each parent passes to an offspring is Mendel's Law of:

• Independent Assortment

• Dominance

• Segregation

• Genetics
