Gene |
A sequence of nucleotides forming part of a chromosome, the order of which determines the order of monomers in a distinct sequence of nucleotides forming part of a chromosome, the order of which determines the order of monomers in a polypeptide or nucleic acid molecule which a cell (or virus) may synthesize. |
|
|
Genotype |
A specific combination of alleles at one or more loci on a chromosome. |
|
|
Allele |
A version of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same loci. |
|
|
Phenotype |
Set of observable characteristics that arise as a result of the interaction between the genotype and the environment |
|
|
Recessive |
relating to or denoting heritable characteristics controlled by genes which are expressed in offspring only when inherited from both parents. |
|
|
Dominant |
Gene is expressed even if the person only inherits one allele that codes for the characteristic |
|
|
Incomplete dominance |
Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype. |
|
|
Homozygote |
Identical alleles for a specific trait |
|
|
Heterozygote |
Different alleles for a specific trait |
