the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another

a distinguishing quality or characteristic, typically one belonging to a person

the genetic properties or features of an organism, characteristic

what is fertilization

the action or process of fertilizing an egg, female animal, or plant, involving the fusion of male and female gametes to form a zygote.

an animal bred from parents of the same breed or variety.

a unit of heredity that is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.

one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.

what is dominant allele

An individual with one dominant and one recessive allele for a gene will have the dominant phenotype. They are generally considered “carriers” of the recessive allele: the recessive allele is there, but the recessive phenotype is not.

what recessive allele

For a recessive allele to produce a recessive phenotype, the individual must have two copies, one from each parent. An individual with one dominant and one recessive allele for a gene will have the dominant phenotype.

a thing made by combining two different elements; a mixture.

the extent to which something is probable; the likelihood of something happening or being the case.

what is punnett square

The Punnett square is a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment.

the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.

For each of the organism's thousands of genes, it is either homozygous or heterozygous at that genetic locus. Dominant and Recessive. Alleles can be dominant or recessive. A dominant allele 'dominates over' a recessive allele.

Heterozygosity occurs when an individual has two different alleles of a gene

Alleles that are masked or hidden by dominant alleles are known as recessive alleles.

a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.

what is messenger RNA

the form of RNA in which genetic information transcribed from DNA as a sequence of bases is transferred to a ribosome.

is an adaptor molecule composed of RNA, typically 73 to 94 nucleotides in length, that serves as the physical link between the nucleotide sequence of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and the amino acid sequence of proteins.

the action or process of mutating.
