Complex Heredity

Dominant

• Describes a trait that covers over, or dominates, another form of that trait

• genetic makeup

• weak

• An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait

Traits

• phenotype

• purebred

• Characteristics that are inherited

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

a genotype consisting of two identical alleles of a gene for a particular trait

• homozygous

• heterozygous

• trait

• ratio

a genotype having two different alleles for a trait

• heterozygous

• homozygous

• probability

• ratio

describes a trait that covers over another form of that trait. It is always expressed

• dominant

• recessive

• probability

trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trat

• recessive

• dominant

• popular

• common

a characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes

• genotype

• allele

• chromosome
