• Punnett square

• allele

• phenotype

• genotype

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

genotype with two different alleles

• heterozygous

• homozygous

• dominant

• recessive

genotype with two of the same inherited alleles

• heterozygous

• homozygous

• dominant

• recessive

allele that hides another trait; only need one allele to display trait

• heterozygous

• homozygous

• dominant

• genotype

hidden trait; need two alleles to display the trait

• heterozygous

• homozygous

• dominant

• recessive

father of genetics; worked with pea plants to observe dominant/recessive traits

• Gregor Mendel

• co-dominance

• incomplete dominance

• sex-linked inheritance

hereditary pattern where neither allele is dominant and both expressed in offspring

• Gregor Mendel

• co-dominance

• incomplete dominance
