Allele
Recessive Allele
Number of chromosomes each person has
Characteristic (trait) of the offspring like hair color, eye color, blood type, etc.
When you have two identical alleles (HH or hh)
An allele in a gene that is stronger or covers up the weaker allele in a gene. Capital letter (H)
differences in our genes comes about due to this
Number of alleles that make up a gene
An allele in a gene that is weaker or gets covered up by the stronger allele in a gene. Lower case letter
Whatever set (2) of alleles a person has for a gene (trait). Like 2 capital letters or 2 lower case letters
Number of chromosomes each parent pass to the child
Half of a trait/gene (like hair color) comes from each parent. Half the trait (one letter) is this...
Passing traits to your child
People with two different alleles. Capital letter with a lower case letter
The instructions for building all living things
An organism's physical appearance for a trait. What the trait/gene looks like visually
