Column A Column B
1. allele c: alternate forms of a gene
2. phenotype b: the appearance of a trait
3. genotype f: the gene combination
4. homozygous a: two alleles are the same
5. heterozygous l: two alleles are different
6. diploid p: contains 2 copies of each chromosome
7. haploid m: contains 1 copy of each chromosome
8. gametes g: sex cells
9. dominant i: the trait that is always expressed
10. recessive d: the trait that can be covered up
11. independent assortment j: one of Mendel’s principles that states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes
12. segregation k: separation of alleles during gamete formation
13. DNA fingerprinting h: a method used to identify an individual from a sample of DNA by looking at unique patterns in their DNA
14. Nondisjunction e: one or more pairs of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate normally during nuclear division - resulting in nuclei and cells with the wrong number of chromosomes
15. incomplete dominance n: type of inheritance with a third phenotype with a heterozygous genotype that is a blending of the traits (ie white x red = pink)
16. codominance o: type of inheritance with a third phenotype with a heterozygous genotype, where both of the traits are expressed equally (ie type A x type B = type AB blood)
