N. sex-linked trait
O. probability
P. homozygous
Q. pedigree

1. gene coded on a sex chromosome
2. the observable characteristics of an organism
3. tool used to predict the results of a genetic cross
4. displays whether a dominant phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous
5. when the alleles for a trait differ
6. diagram of a family's genealogy that shows family members' relationships to each other and how a particular trait or disease has been inherited
7. any of a set of three or more alleles, only two of which can be present in an organism
8. shown as lower case letter in a cross, is masked by a dominant trait
9. different form of a gene at a single locus
10. when both alleles of a trait are the same
