The alleles of different genes separate independently of one another Heredity Homozygous A family history that shows how a trait is inherited over several generations Codominance A cross that involves ONE pair of contrasting traits. The physical appearance of a character EX: brown hair, green eyes, etc. Heterozygous Alleles Probability F2 Generation F1 Generation Genetics genes with more than two alleles EX: blood type Incomplete Dominance Polygenic Inheritance A trait that is not expressed when the dominant trait is present. Punnett Square An individual whose phenotype is dominant, but whose genotype is not known, is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. The parental generation - original two individuals that are crossed during a breeding experiment. A trait that is determined by a gene found on one of the sex chromosomes, such as the X chromosome.
