The expressed characteristic of an organism (ex. blue eyes)

The passing of traits from parents to their offspring.

You inherit these from your parents, it makes an organism different from others.

The chromosome responsible for determining the genetic sex of an organism.

Most chromosomes found in the an organism, any chromosome that is NOT a sex chromosome.

The reproductive cell of an organism, ex. egg and sperm.

Cell division that results in 4 genetically unique sex cells.

Any cell in an organism that is not a sex cell. (ex. skin cell)

Cell division that is used for growth and development of an organism, division resulting in 2 identical cells.

A single set of chromosomes typically found in gametes.

A cell that contains two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.

An allele that expresses its trait no matter what allele it is paired with.

An allele whose trait is hidden when the dominant allele is present.

When the same allele for a trait is present in a genotype, purebred.

The alleles present in a genotype are different, hybrid.

The combination of the two alleles for a given trait, what the genes look like for a trait.

The appearance of a trait in an organism, what the trait looks like.

A diagram used to find the possible genotypes of offspring in a cross.

The likelihood of an event occurring.
