- Different versions of a gene found at the same location (locus) on homozygous chromosomes.
- Thread-like structure made of DNA.
- Fundamental units of heredity.
- Genetic trait that is expressed when present, overriding the expression of its recessive allele.
- Genetic trait expressed only in the absence of the dominant allele.
- Genetic make-up of an organism
- Observable traits or characteristics of an organism.
- Diagrammatic representation of a family's genetic history, showing the transmission of traits across generations.
- Having two identical alleles for a particular gene (e.g., homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive).
- Having two different alleles for a particular gene (e.g., one dominant and one recessive allele).
- Tiny instructions passed from parents to children that shape certain traits or features in the children.
- Branch of Science that studies genetics, field of biology that focuses on heredity.
