| Heredity | passing traits from parents to offspring |
| genetics | the study of how traits are passed from parent to child |
| dominant trait | a genetic factor that blocks others |
| recessive trait | the genetic factor that is blocked |
| gene | a sec. on a chrom. that has gen. info for one trait |
| allels | different forms of genes |
| phenotype | geneticists call how a trait appears or is expressed |
| genotype | 2 allels that control the phentontype of a trait |
| homozygous | 2 allels of a gene are the same its genotype |
| heterozygous | if the 2 allels of a gene ore different |
| punnet square | is a model used to predict possible genotyps and phenotyps of offspring |
| codominance | allels can be observed in a phenotype t |
| polygenic inheritance | occurs when multiple genes determine the phenotype of a trait |
| DNA | an organisms genetic material |
| nucleotide | is a molecule made of a nitrogen base a sugar and a phosphate group |
| RNA | a type of nuceic acid that carries the code for making protiens from the nuceus to the cytoplasm |
| transcription | the process of making mRNA from dna |
| translation | the process of making a protein from RNA |
| mutation | a change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene |
| incomplete dominance | when the offsprings phenotype is a combination of the parents phenotype |
