differences in our genes comes about due to this
Number of chromosomes each person has
An allele in a gene that is weaker or gets covered up by the stronger allele in a gene. Lower case letter
An allele in a gene that is stronger or covers up the weaker allele in a gene. Capital letter (H)
Characteristic (trait) of the offspring like hair color, eye color, blood type, etc.
Half of a trait/gene (like hair color) comes from each parent. Half the trait (one letter) is this...
Number of chromosomes each parent pass to the child
An organism's physical appearance for a trait. What the trait/gene looks like visually
People with two different alleles. Capital letter with a lower case letter
Passing traits to your child
Whatever set (2) of alleles a person has for a gene (trait). Like 2 capital letters or 2 lower case letters
The instructions for building all living things
Number of alleles that make up a gene
When you have two identical alleles (HH or hh)
