  2. 7. Would "Ee" be heterozygous or homozygous?
  3. 9. a section of DNA that codes for a protein, and therefore, a trait
  4. 11. Would "EE" be homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive?

  1. 1. Genotype ______________ has one dominant and one recessive allele; example- Na
  2. 2. this allele shows up only if there is no dominant allele to mask it; represented by a lowercase letter

  4. 4. several possible forms of character (ex- purple, white)
  5. 5. term for inherited physical features (ex- color)
