Heredity is
traits passing from one sibling to another
traits passing from offspring to parents
traits passing from organisms to their environment
traits passing form parents to offspring
The above image is called a karotype. It shows examples of
chromosomes
mutations
phenotypes
genotypes
An inherited trait
is the result of the environment
is passed from the parents
occurs after birth
does not pass from parents
The different ways that a gene can be expressed is called a(n)
allele
chromosome
mutation
genotype
Two identical alleles for the same trait.

When this is present, the trait it codes for ALWAYS shows up
Dominant allele
Recessive allele
The trait this codes for will only show up if the dominant allele is not present.
