| 697667804 | Law of Independent Assortment | each member of a pair of homologous chromosomes separates independently of the members of other pairs so the results are random | 8 | |

| 697667810 | Recessive Allele | an allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present | 12 | |
| 697667811 | Codominance | situation in which both alleles of a gene contribute to the phenotype of the organism | 13 | |
| 697667812 | Incomplete Dominance | one allele is not completely dominant over the other allele | 14 | |
| 697667813 | Polygenic Characteristic | characteristics controlled by more than | 15 | |

| 697667817 | Dominant Gene | one characteristic is equal to or always is visible, can;t hide | 19 | |
| 697667818 | recessive Gene | characteristic that usually dominated by another characteristic, only visible if doubled | 20 | |

| 697667826 | Hybrid Traits | a trait where one gene dominates a recessive gene and the dominant triat is visible and the recessice one is not. the parent can pass along the recessive trait to their children, where if paired with another recessive gene, the recessive trait WILL be visible | 24 | |
| 697667828 | Chromosomes | cell structures that carry hereditary information | 25 | |
| 697667830 | Genes | short segments of DNA information, within chromosomes, that serve as a code for bits of hereditary information | 26 | |
