Homozygous Definition
When an organism has identical alleles for a gene
Heterozygous Definition
When an organism has different alleles for a gene
Phenotype Definition
An Organisms Physical Traits
Genotype
Organisms genetic makeup, should be 2 copies (alleles) of each gene
How many copies of alleles should there be in a Genotype
2
Genotype PP:
Homozygous For The Dominant Allele
Genotype AA:
Homozygous For The Recessive Allele
Genotype BB:
Heterozygous
Dominant Gene:
If the dominant gene is in DNA, It will be expressed; NOT necessarily dominant in terms of being most beneficial
Recessive Gene:
If recessive gene is present it takes 2 copies of the gene for the physical trait to be expressed
