- Q1An organism that has two different alleles for a trait. Also known as heterozygous. (ex: Ee)hybrid30s
- Q2An allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when it is present. Represented with an uppercase letter.dominant30s
- Q3The set of information that controls a trait; code in the DNA.gene30s
