The passing of traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual or sexual reproduction.

Heredity

A person's child or children through asexual or sexual reproduction.

Offspring

The unit for genetic information.

Gene

A genetically determined characteristic.

Genetic Trait

Different type or version of the same gene.

Allele

The set of genes in our DNA which is responsible for a particular trait.

Genotype

The physical expression or characteristic of that trait.

Phenotype

This type of allele will always hide the presence of a recessive allele. Written as a capital letter.

Dominant

Hidden by a dominant allele, written as a lowercase letter.

Recessive

The case where the offspring gets the same allele from both parents. (AA, aa).

Homozygous

The case where the offspring gets different alleles from both parents. (Aa)

Heterozygous

GENETIC OR NON-GENETIC: Hair and Skin Color

Genetic

GENETIC OR NON-GENETIC: Favorite Food/Color

Non-Genetic

Anytime two parents mate and form offspring.

Cross

Predicts the offspring of the F1 Generation.

Monohybrid Punnett Square

The first generation produced by the mating of two parents.

F1 Generation

The dominant trait that dominates the recessive trait every time.

Simple Dominance

One allele is not completely dominant over the other. In this case, a heterozygous genotype results in a third phenotype that is a combination of the dominant and the recessive allele.

Incomplete Dominance

Both alleles are dominant, so both contribute to the resulting allele.

Co-Dominance
