inheritance

• asexual reproduction is the production of offspring from a single parent by mitosis, making the offspring clones of the parent
• dominant – An allele that is always expressed, even if only one copy is present.
• recessive – An allele that is only expressed if two copies of it are present
• heterozygous – A genotype that has two different alleles – one dominant and one recessive
• homozygous – A genotype that has two of the same alleles. Either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.
• in a nucleotide, a base (G,C,A,T) is attached to a sugar phosphate backbone and many nucleotides form a polymer which is DNA
