  1. trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait
  2. a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele.
  3. observed trait of an organism that mask the recessive allele of a trait
  4. are the smallest chemical parts that form segments of chromosomes. Genes determine what we look like.
  5. a genotype consisting of two different alleles of a gene for a particular trait. An individual that is heterozygous (Aa) is also referred to as hybrids.
  6. is the actual code that alleles or genes possess (E.g. Tt or TT or tt). The gene may or may not be expressed when you observe a living organism.
  7. the likelihood that a specific event will occur. Probability is usually expressed as the ratio of the number of actual occurrences to the number of possible occurrences.
  8. a self-replicating material which is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.
  9. is an alternate form of a gene for one trait. For example, brown and blue eyes are two different alleles for eye color. We have 2 alleles for any, one trait, one from our mother and one from our father. They may be the same form of the gene (homozygous) or two different forms (heterozygous).
Down
  1. a genotype consisting of two identical alleles of a gene for a particular trait. An individual may be homozygous dominant (AA) or homozygous recessive (aa). Individuals who are homozygous for a trait are also referred to as homozygotes.
