Chromosome

Gene
A section of DNA that controls a trait
Chromosome pairs
We receive 1 set of chromosome from each partens that contains the same genes in the same position
Allele
Different forms of a gene
Chromosome theory of inheritance
DNA replication
A process where the DNA molecules split apart to make two identical copies
genes
a section of DNA on a chromosome that controls a trait or characteristic
ex. eye color, hair color, and height
Allele
different forms of a gene
eye color (blue or brown), height (tall or short)
Dominant
Alleles that always show up in a organism when it is presented
masks a recessive gene
Recesive
allele that is hidden whenever a dominant allele is present
will only show up if dominate alleles is not present
homzygous organisms
have either 2 Dominate alleles or 2 recessive alleles
