Genetics : The study of genes, heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms.
Heredity : The passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.
Allele : One of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
Recessive : Relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents, when not masked by a dominant characteristic inherited from one parent.
Law of Independent Assortment : the principle, originated by Gregor Mendel, stating that when two or more characteristics are inherited, individual hereditary factors assort independently during gamete production, giving different traits an equal opportunity of occurring together.
Incomplete Dominance : When red roses, which contain the dominant red allele, are mated with white roses (which is recessive), the offspring will be heterozygotes, and will express a pink phenotype.
Phenotype : The set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
Homozygous : pertaining to an individual (or a condition in a cell or an organism) containing two copies of the same allele for a particular trait located at similar positions (loci) on paired chromosomes (see homologous chromosomes).
Gene : control the characteristics that an offspring will have by transmitting information in the sequence of nucleotides on short sections of DNA.
Multiple Alleles : Three or more alleles for a particular gene
Inheritance : The acquisition of traits genetically transmitted from parents to offspring
Dominant : An allele or a gene that is expressed in an organism’s phenotype, masking the effect of the recessive allele or gene when present.
Law of Segregation : Gregor Mendel's law stating that paired alleles separate during gamete formation. Consequently, each gamete would contain only one copy of every paired unit factors.
Genotype : the genetic constitution of an individual organism.
Sex Linked Traits : A trait genetically determined by an allele located on the sex chromosome
Heterozygous : A pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive
Codominance : a relationship between two versions of a gene.
