how many alleles from each parent

Genes:
sections of instructions in a chromosome that code for a specific trait
Trait:
An aspect of your appearance (hair color, eye color)
Allele:
All the options available for a trait (blonde, black, red)
Genotype:
letters to represent specific alleles from a trait
Phenotype:
This is the physical appearance of genotype
How many representations does genotype have
2
Hetero:

Homo:
Same
Dihybrid Cross:

If gene affects the physical appearance of organism, it is
expressed
if gene does not affect physical appearnce,
unexpressed
