| This is a chart that shows probability of more than one trait inherited. |

Term
|
Definition
| This is when a phenotype is a blend and the dominate trait may not truly show. |
|

Term
|
Definition
| An alternative version of a gene. |

Term
|
Definition
| This allele determines the phenotype of the trait, it is most often expressed in a species. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| This allele is not noticeable or occurs less often. This allele is masked or covered by the dominant allele. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
The inheritance pattern that has two different dominant factors present,the heterozygous expresses the distinct of both alleles.
Example: AB |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Two identical alleles making a combination or genotype.
Example: AA |

Term
|
Definition
When the allele combination is different, there is one dominant and one recessive present.
Example: Hh |

Definition
| The law that explains how alleles separate independently and randomly move into the newly created sperm or ovum cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Mendel's 1st law of inheritance that explains how the genes show a random pattern in forming meiosis cells and why we inherit some dominant traits and some recessive traits randomly. It is not an all or nothing, we may have blue eyes (recessive) and brown hair (dominant). |
