2
Q
Homozygous
A
You have 2 identical alleles for one trait. Can be two dominant or two recessive alleles.
3
Q
Heteroygous
A
You have 2 different alleles for one trait. Has one dominant and one recessive alleles.
4
Q
Genotype
A
Together your two alleles for a trait.
5
Q
Phenotype
A
How you actually express the trait.
6
Q
Dominant
A
Has capital letters
Masks recessive alleles
7
Q
Codominant
A
In heteroygous individuals , two different alleles can both be equally expressed. Neither is dominant or recessive.
8
Q
Recessive
A
Has lower case letters
Gets masked by dominant alleles
9
Q
