1. The problem is to match vocabulary terms with their correct definitions related to genetics. 2. Let's analyze each definition and match it with the correct term: - "An allele combination (or letter combination)." This describes a genotype, which is the genetic makeup represented by letters like "Bb" or "BB". - "When two alleles in a genotype are different such as \"Bb\" they are said to be Dominant" is incorrect because when alleles are different, the genotype is heterozygous, and the dominant allele is the one that shows the trait. - "When two alleles in a genotype are the same such as \"BB\" or \"bb\" they are said to be recessive" is incorrect; when alleles are the same, the genotype is homozygous. - "The physical trait that one sees in the offspring." This is the phenotype. - "A possible form a trait may have that we represent with a letter." This is an allele. - "A trait that can cover up another trait is Dominant." This is the dominant trait. - "A trait that can get covered up by another trait is recessive." This is the recessive trait. - "A tool used to help predict what traits offspring may have." This is a Punnett Square. 3. Correct matches: - A. Phenotype: The physical trait that one sees in the offspring. - B. Punnett Square: A tool used to help predict what traits offspring may have. - C. Dominant: A trait that can cover up another trait. - D. Recessive: A trait that can get covered up by another trait. - E. Heterozygous: When two alleles in a genotype are different such as "Bb". - F. Genotype: An allele combination (or letter combination). - G. Allele: A possible form a trait may have that we represent with a letter. - H. Homozygous: When two alleles in a genotype are the same such as "BB" or "bb". 4. The Punnett square described shows the cross between two heterozygous parents (Gg x Gg) resulting in genotypes: Gg, Gg, gg, gg. 5. Summary: - Genotype: 50% heterozygous (Gg), 50% homozygous recessive (gg) - Phenotype: 50% dominant trait (Gg), 50% recessive trait (gg) This matches the given percentages. Final answer: A - Phenotype B - Punnett Square C - Dominant D - Recessive E - Heterozygous F - Genotype G - Allele H - Homozygous
