• the passing of traits from parents to offspring

• the passing of money to parents

• genes

• alleles affect inheritance

a dominant allele is

• a hidden gene

• traits always shows up in the organism when the allele is present

• the number that describes how likely an event is to occur

• selective breeding

recessive allele

• hidden when dominant is present

• dominant allele

• always present

• GG

GG

• Homozygous Dominant

• Heterozygous Dominant

• Homozygous Recessive

genotype

• an organisms genetic makeup or combination of alleles

• genes expression

• phenotype

phenotype

• an organisms genetic makeup

• the organisms physical appearance or visible traits

• genotype

• purebred
