|
Gene
|
Hereditary unit on a chromosome, they can change and mutate. They control whether you have blue eys or brown or what color your hair is.
|
|
Allele
|
One of many possible forms of a gene. Everyone has two alleles, one from their mother another from their father.
- Dominant Allele - Recessive Allele |
|
Centromere
