Dominance and Punnett Squares

Homozygous is when...

• the alleles are the same
• the alleles are different
• the alleles are absent
• the alleles are present

Heterozygous is when...

• the alleles are different
• the alleles are absent
• the alleles are present

• recessive
• dominant
• lower case letter
• both 

T - tall and t = short

What does heterozygous mean?

• An organism that has the same genes for a trait (TT or tt)
• An organism that has different genes for a trait (Tt)
• When neither gene is fully dominant; offspring is a mixture of both
• the different forms of a trait (hair color--> brown, blonde, red
