always show if one gene is present
ex. brow eyes
only shown if both genes present are for it
ex. blue eyes
segments of DNA on a chromosome that can determine a trait
the different versions of genes
if you have blue eyes then your eye color genes are homozygous
Identical
Different
how a blue eye gene can be passed from someone with brown eyes
monitored in genetic experiments
offspring
