The
genome
is the complete set of
genes
or
genetic material
present in an organism.
Alleles
are
different versions
of a
gene
that can be
inherited
from
parents.

Genes
are segments of DNA that code for specific
traits
, such as
eye color
or
height.
The
genome
is the complete set of
genes
or
genetic material
present in an organism.
Dominant
alleles express themselves even if only one copy is present, while
recessive
alleles require two copies to be expressed.
Genes
are segments of DNA that code for specific
traits
, such as
eye color
or
height.
DNA
(
deoxyribonucleic acid
) is the molecule responsible for storing
genetic information.
Genes determine
traits
, such as
eye color
,
hair color
,
height
, etc.
Chromosomes
carry
DNA
and are found inside
cells.
Chromosomes
are structures within cells that carry
genetic information.
DNA
(
deoxyribonucleic acid
) is the molecule that contains our
genetic information.
Phenotype
refers to
observable characteristics
or
traits
expressed by an
individual.
DNA
(
deoxyribonucleic acid
) is the molecule that contains all the instructions needed to
build
and
maintain living
things.
A
chromatid
is one of two
identical
copies of a
chromosome
that separate during cell
division.
Codominance
refers to situations where
both alleles
contribute
equally
to the
expression
of a
trait.
Punnett squares
are used to predict the possible outcomes of genetic crosses based on
Mendel's laws.
Phenotype
refers to observable characteristics or traits, while
genotype
refers to the actual genetic makeup of an individual.
Pedigree
charts show family relationships and patterns of inheritance over
multiple generations.
Gene expression
involves the process of
transcribing DNA
into
RNA
and then translating it into
proteins.
Each cell has a complete set of
chromosomes
with all its
genes.
Humans have
23
pairs of chromosomes, including
sex
chromosomes.
