What is Heredity?
|
The passing of genes to offspring.
|
|

What is a phenotype?
|
The visible trait.
|
|

What is a genotype?

|
Two of the same alleles.
|
|
|
What does Heterozygous mean?
|
Two different alleles.
|
|
|
What are chromosomes?
|
They are located in the nucleus, containing genetic information.
|
|
|
What does incomplete dominance mean?
|
This is when one allele isn't completely dominate over another.
|
|
|
What does Co-dominance mean?
|
Both alleles contribute to genes.

|
|
|
Sum up all of the stages of Meiosis.
|
