Cell diploid state — definition?
Contains two complete chromosome sets.
Genes — role?
Code for making proteins.
Homologous chromosomes — function?
Pair during meiosis, carry same genes.

Dominant alleles mask recessive ones.
Mendelian cross — purpose?
Study inheritance patterns of traits.

Predict offspring genotypes and phenotypes.
Gene — location?
On a chromosome.
Allele — variation?
Different versions of a gene.
