Genetics Vocabulary TERM DEFINITION Phenotype The physical expression of a gene Genotype The actual allele combination of a gene Homozygous Dominant A gene combination in which an individual possesses two dominant alleles Homozygous Recessive A gene combination in which an individual possesses two recessive alleles Heterozygous A gene combination in which an individual possesses one dominant and one recessive allele Monohybrid Cross A genetic cross to examine the possible inheritance of one specific set of alleles Dihybrid Cross A genetic cross to examine the possible inheritance of two specific sets of alleles Gregor Mendel An Austrian monk and botanist who established key principles for the study of genetics; the father of genetics Punnett Square A tool used to analyze the possible gene combinations of the offspring between two Individuals Incomplete Dominance A heterozygous genotype that produces a blend of traits in the phenotype Codominance A heterozygous genotype where alleles are expressed equally, such as blood type Multiple Alleles Having more than two alleles are a gene, such as blood type Sex-linked Traits Genes that are located on the sex chromosomes; usually the X chromosome Polygenic Traits A inherited trait influenced by three or more genes Page 1 of 1
