Here is the matching of terms from Column A with their definitions from Column B:
- phenotype: i. Physical appearance or presence of the trait in question, like black hair or Rh+
- genotype: j. The paired genes represented by letters, like Ff and AA
- dominant: a. The trait that is always seen if present - represented by an uppercase letter
- recessive: b. The trait that is only seen if both genes are the same - represented by a lowercase letter
- homozygous: h. Both alleles are the same, like FF and gg
- heterozygous: e. The paired genes have different versions, like Bb and Qq
- hybrid genotype: e. The paired genes have different versions, like Bb and Qq (Note: This term is commonly used interchangeably with heterozygous.)
- allele: d. One version of a gene
- purebred genotype: h. Both alleles are the same, like FF and gg (Note: This term can refer to the same concept as homozygous.)
- ratio: g. A way to compare values, for example 1:3 (out of 4)
- percentage: f. A way to compare values out of 100 "per100"
- genotype writing conventions: c. Always write upper case letters first in each pair (Tt), and in the case of multiple traits - write in alphabetical order (AA Bb Dd)
- locus: k. Location of an allele/gene on a chromosome
