| A type of cell division that produces four genetically distinct gametes, each with half the chromosome number. | Meiosis | 76%
|
| A chromosome involved in determining the sex of an organism | Sex chromosome | 76%
|
| An allele that expresses its trait even in the presence of a different allele. | Dominant Allele | 66%
|
| A chromosome that is not a sex chromosome; humans have 22 pairs of autosomes. | Autosome | 62%

| Genes located close together on the same chromosome that tend to be inherited together. | Linked Genes | 55%
|
| The specific physical location of a gene on a chromosome. | Locus | 55%

|
| An allele that is only expressed when two copies are present | Recessive Allele | 41%
|
| Having two different alleles for a particular gene | Heterozygous | 38%

|
| A pattern of inheritance where both alleles are fully and separately expressed in the phenotype | Codominance | 34%
|
| A genetic cross that examines the inheritance of two different traits simultaneously. | Dihybrid cross | 34%
|
| The random distribution of homologous chromosome pairs during meiosis, contributing to genetic variation. | Independent Assortment | 34%
|
| When a gene is located on a sex chromosome, usually the X chromosome, affecting inheritance patterns. | Sex lineage | 34%
|
| An alternative form of a gene found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes. | Allele | 31%
