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 |
