- Square a simple graphical method of showing all of the potential combinations of offspring genotypes that can occur and their probability given the parent genotypes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
