| Blood type | multiple allele, o is recessive, A and B are codominant |
| Polygenetic traits | traits such as skin color which have many allele and phenotype is expressed as a blending of many different shades |
| enzymes | protein molecules that speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction |
| Carbon | present in carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, makes them organic molecules |
