Genes
Alleles
two or more alternative forms of a gene that are caused by mutation
example:Having a recessive allele for blue eyes
and a dominant allele for brown eyes : 
Genotype
the genetic make up of an organism.

How They work
Each gene has a special job to do. The DNA in a gene spells out specific instruction. an example would be a cook book all instructions tell you specific details and you should follow the and if you mess up it is a mutation such as having to much or to little.
Mendel
Gregor Johann Mendel was a scientist, he is known as the father of genetics.
Dominant Alleles
Dominant allele is a version of a gene that will always be first if present
-
DNA
deoxyribonucleic acid, Carries all the genetic material and info of a living organism
-
Humans
Genes are in every living thing so they must be in humans,so how they do affect us. Genes are segments of DNA and RNA. They transfer hereditary information to the
offspring
Example:Having different genes for different traits such as hair color
Phenotype
observable characteristics of a living thing
-
Recessive Alleles
A recessive allele is a version of a gene which must be homozygous when inherited in order to be expressed in the body if no dominant alleles are present
