This document defines key genetic terms grouped under five categories: 1. It describes Gregor Mendel's discoveries in plant genetics and key concepts like probability, hybridization, and heterozygous traits. 2. It defines genetic concepts like inbreeding, genotypic ratios, incomplete dominance, and homozygous traits. 3. It explains co-dominance, genotypes, phenotypes, and recessive alleles. 4. It covers dominant traits, why superscripts are used, what emerinette means, and defines hybrids. 5. The final group defines purebreds, alleles, and genetic traits.

GENETIC TEST REVIEW
GROUP 1
1. Gregor Mendel: discovered how plant traits are inherited by experimenting with pea plants
2. Probability: a number that describes how likely it is that an event will occur
3. Hybridization: a selective breeding method in which two genetically different individuals are
crossed
4. Heterozygous: having two different alleles for a trait
GROUP 2
1. Inbreeding: crossing two individuals with similar traits to get the same traits in the offspring
2. Genotypic ratio: the ratio of the genetic make-up of offspring from a punnett square (1:2:1)
3. Incomplete dominance: where the two genes mix to create a unique offspring (white x red =
pink)
4. Homozygous: two identical alleles for a trait
GROUP 3
1. Co-dominance: a condition in which neither alleles is dominate
2. Genotype: genetic make-up
3. Phenotype: physical appearance of visible traits
4. Recessive: an allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present
GROUP 4
1. Dominate trait: the trait that shows up in an offspring. (IT DOMINATES!)
2. Why do we use superscripts?: to be able to tell two dominate traits apart
3. What does emerinette mean?: codominance working together to combine colors
4. Hybrid: organism with two different allele for a trait
GROUP 5

2. 1. Purebred: the offspring of many generations that the same trait
2. Allele: the different forms of a gene
3. Trait: a physical feature passed on to somethings offspring
