Phenotype
physical appearance
Genotype
genetic code
Gene
trait
Allele
trait variation
Hereditary
parent to offspring
Mendel
father of genetics
The Law of Segregation
each inherited trait comes in pairs (diploid to haploid)
Law of Dominance
an organism with alternate forms of a gene will express dominance
The law of Independent Assortment
different traits are sorted from each other
Zygote
produced by fertilization (inside punnet square)
monohybrid
4 punnet squares
dihybrid
16 punnet squares
Incomplete dominace
neither allele is dominate so there is a mixed blend
Codominace
when both alleles are present do they both show up sepratly
Allele
letter in punnet
