  1. 3. A condition in which both alleles for a gene are fully expressed
  2. 6. A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait
  3. 8. also known as a hybrid genotype;An organism that has two different alleles for a trait
  4. 10. only one form of the gene will be physically represented in the individual; will mask the other form of the gene; always expressed in offspring

  2. 2. pair of chromosomes that are the same size, same appearance and same genes.
  3. 4. An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait
  4. 5. another name for homozygous dominant. All children look like the parent if it is this.
  5. 7. A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross
  6. 9. Alternative forms of a gene for each variation of a trait of an organism.
