Patterns of Inheritance |
Transmitting a gene through various methods. |
Peas getting a wrinkled or smooth outer shell. |
|
|
Gene |
A unit that stores characteristics and DNA information for the offspring. |
A father's sperm holding his DNA. |
|
|
Allele |
A gene that has a different base sequence from another. |
Genes of wrinkled peas and smooth peas. |
|
|
Homologous Chromosome |
Contain the same genes, but these are present in different Alleles. |
The Size and shape of these help determine what they do. |
|
|
Dominant |
A trait in the offspring of a species that shows up more than others. |
People with black hair. |
|
|
Recessive |
A gene that is not taken. These genes are there, but Dominant genes are what are better. |
Having black hair as a Dominant trait but also having a gene of blonde hair, which does not show up. |
|
|
Principle of Segregation |
When pairs of genes are separated and how they are separated between offspring. |
Cross mating pea plants. |
|
|
Genotype |
Alleles that give plans for the expression of different characteristics. |
Mind-like thinking experiences. |
|
|
Phenotype |
The expression of a trait. How traits are expressed in the body. |
Physical traits. |
|
|
Homozygous |
Alleles with the same gene type. They can express the same thing. |
Many Alleles of the black hair gene. |
