father of genetics

the passing of genetic material from generation to generation

a feature of living things that has different forms

the different forms of a characteristic

always produce identical offspring if self-pollinated

  1. Filial Generation
  1. Genes
  1. Alleles
  1. Heterozygous
  1. Homozygous
  1. Dominant Trait
  1. Recessive Trait

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
