Genetics
15
Heredity: is the passing of traits from parents to offspring.
Inherited Traits: Traits that are passed from parents to their offspring (through fertilization)
Genes: are sections of DNA on a chromosome.
Alleles : are different forms of a trait that a gene may contain. There are 2 alleles for each gene.1 from mom and 1 from dad
Genetics: is the study of inherited traits.
Gregor Mendel: The Father of Genetics “The Man”
Purebreds: offspring receives the two same alleles for a trait (TT or tt)
Hybrids: offspring receives two different alleles for a trait (Tt)
Dominant allele: covers up or dominates the other trait. Represented by a Capital Letter
Recessive allele: the trait seems to disappear. Represented by a lower-case letter
Homozygous : an organism with 2 alleles for one trait that are the same (written TT)
Heterozygous : an organism with 2 alleles for one trait that are different (written Tt)
Genotype: the genetic-makeup of an organism (types of letters used)
Phenotype: the way an organism physically looks/behaves as a result of its genotype. Types of Words used,Tall, Short, Blonde, Brown, etc.
Punnett Square: can help you predict what an offspring will look like.
