What is the different and distinct forms of genes? Ex B or b

• dominant

• recessive

• allele

• genotype

This is the form of a gene that is seen when there are two different alleles

• recessive

• genotype

• dominant

• phenotype

This is the form of a gene that is masked when there is a dominant allele.

• dominant

• genotype

• phenotype

• recessive

This is the genetic make-up of an organism. Ex: Bb

• genotype

• phenotype

• homozygous

• heterozygous

This is the physical appearance of an organism

• dominant

• phenotype

• genotype

• recessive

This term is when the two alleles are the same

• heterozygous

• genotype

• homozygous

• phenotype

This is when the two alleles are different

• dominant

• homozygous

• recessive

• heterozygous

This is the passing of traits from a parent to offspring
