| Gene | in the cells |
| Alleles | one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome. |
| Dominant | More in charge |

| Heterozygous | Both alleles for a trait are the same in an individual. |
| Codominance | is a relationship between two versions of a gene. |
