what is an allele  
different version of all genes
what does homozygous mean  
if 2 versions of a gene on a pair of chromosomes are the same(GG, gg)
what does heterozygous mean  
if 2 versions of a gene on a pair of chromosomes are different (Gg)
how are the characteristics determined if the two alleles are different(Gg) 
the dominant allele(G)is the characteristics that are shown
what is the non dominant allele called  
recessive(in Gg, recessive would be g)
what must the alleles be for an organism to show its recessive characteristics  
two of the same recessive allele(gg)
how do you show a dominant allele  
upper case letter(G)
how do you show a recessive allele 
lower case letter(g)
what is a genotype  
combinations of alleles you have (GG,Gg,gg)
what is a phenotype 
effect that alleles have on organism characteristics(e.g. black or brown hair)
