Inheritance

• Laws of Genetics 


  Law of Dominance and Uniformity: One of the pairs of inherited traits win to be dominant and others recessive unless both factors are recessive.

  Law of Segregation: When organism makes gametes, each gamete receives just one gene copy which is selected randomly

  Independent Assortment: Various traits on different genes don't affect each other's ability to be inherited or expressed. All combinations of alleles are equally likely.
• Phenotype VS Genotype 


  Physical traits expressed that are passed from parents, genetic information passed from parents
• Homozygous VS Heterozygous 


  Same allele (bb) VS different allele (Bb)
• Dominant VS Recessive Genes

  Dominant genes mask other characteristics and represented in capital letters. Recessive genes are masked by dominant ones and expressed in lowercase.
