Genes- a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring.

HOMOZYGUS: Homozygous is a word that refers to a particular gene that has identical alleles on both homologous chromosomes. It is referred to by two capital letters (XX) for a dominant trait, and two lowercase letters (xx) for a recessive trait.

Homozygous is when you have two either dominate or recessive alleles in the same section of a punett square.

levi said...

the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another.

Recessive - Relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes that are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents.

Genetics is the study of genes.

Bakerman said...

genes- the basic physical unit of heredity; a linear sequence of nucleotides along a segment of DNA that provides the coded instructions for synthesis of RNA, which, when translated into protein, leads to the expression of hereditary character.

Heredity: when traits are passed down from the parent to its offspring.

genotype means the actual trait that the organism holds. For example a person could have brown eyes but they might have a recessive allele for blue eyes in their genetics.

Brown eyes could be

Bb = Brown and Blue
BB = Brown and Brown

Hereditary- when traits are passed down parent to child
