Patterns of Inheritance

Genes are ...

• That is hidden whenever the dominant allele is present

• Segment of DNA on chromosome that control a trait or characteristic

• A number of how an event occur

• An organism that has two different alleles for a trait

Dominant alleles are alleles whose trait ......... shows up when the alleles is present.

• always

• never

• sometimes

• usually

Different forms of a gene

• Punnett square

• Gene

• Allele

• Homozygous

Alleles whose trait always shows up when the allele is present

• Dominant alleles

• Recessive alleles

• Phenotype

• Genotype

Alleles that are hidden whenever the dominant allele is present

• Dominant alleles

• Recessive alleles

• Homozygous

• Heterozygous

What is HOMOZYGOUS?

• AA or aa

• Aa

• Organism that has identical alleles for a trait

• Organism that has two different alleles for a trait

What is HETEROZYGOUS?

• AA or aa

• Aa

• Organism that has identical alleles for a trait

• Organism that has two different alleles for a trait
