Q

What is Heterozygous?

A

having different versions of a gene (alleles) inherited from parent generation
Or
Tt
Or
Two different letters so lower case and one upper case

17
Q

What is the Dominant allele?

A

Given two alleles (versions) for a gene in an organism, the dominant allele is the one that will be expressed.

18
Q

What is a Recessive allele?

A

The recessive allele (gene version, trait) in a pair of alleles is the one that will not be expressed.

19
Q

What is Genotype?

A

The alleles inherited for a particular gene (letters)

20
Q

What is Phenotype?

A

An individual’s observable traits (we can see them).
