Here are the matched terms from Column A to Column B:
- allele: m. alternate forms of a gene
- phenotype: n. the appearance of a trait
- genotype: h. the gene combination
- homozygous: i. two alleles are the same
- heterozygous: c. two alleles are different
- diploid: f. contains 2 copies of each chromosome
- haploid: d. contains 1 copy of each chromosome
- gametes: g. sex cells
- dominant: p. the trait that is always expressed
- recessive: o. the trait that can be covered up
- independent assortment: l. one of Mendel’s principles that states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes
- segregation: a. separation of alleles during gamete formation
- DNA fingerprinting: e. a method used to identify an individual from a sample of DNA by looking at unique patterns in their DNA
- Nondisjunction: j. 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
- incomplete dominance: k. type of inheritance with a third phenotype with a heterozygous genotype that is a blending of the traits (ie white x red = pink)
- codominance: b. 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)
