An organism that always produces descendants with the same trait for a
specific character

• Hybrid

• Genotype

• Purebred

• Phenotype

An organism with a mix of alleles for a specific character

• Hybrid

• Genotype

• Purebred

• Phenotype

A trait of a specific character that appears in a hybrid organism

So when both alleles are present this one will always be expressed

• Allele

• Dominant

• Hybrid

• Recessive

A trait of a specific character that is hidden by the dominant trait in a hybrid organism

• Allele

• Hybrid

• Purebred

• Recessive

To have this trait exhibited, both alleles will have to be present.

• Dominant

• Hybrid

• Purebred

• Recessive

The letters that symbolize an organism’s alleles for a specific gene

• Genotype

• Hybrid

• Phenotype

• Purebred

The trait that an organism expresses as determined by its allele

• Genotype

• Hybrid
