Genetic Trait |
genetically determined characteristic. Ex: hair color, height, skin color, hair texture. |

|
Allele |
different types of the same gene |
|
|
genotype |

|
|
dominant |
(capital letter) |
|
|
recessive |
(lowercase letter) |
|
|
Homozygous |
gets the same allele from both parents (AA or aa) |
|
|
Heterozygous |
different allele from each parent (Aa) |
|

|
monohybrid punnett square |
used to predict the offspring of the F1 generation |

|
simple dominance |
the dominant trait over masks the recessive trait |
|
|
incomplete dominance |
one gene isn't completely dominant |
|
|
co-dominance |
both alleles are dominant so both contribute to the resulting phenotype. |
|
|
hybrid |
