The genetic material of an organism, includes genes and non-coding DNA
Punnett Square-A square diagram used to predict the genotypes of a particular breeding experiment. It is used to determine what genotype the offspring will have.
Mutation: A mutation in your genes creates a change in your genetic code which may affect your survival.
Good mutations- A mutation that is beneficial to the creature in question. Examples- A mutation that changes the animal's fur color to help it blend in with its surroundings and hide from predators. Another example is a mutation that makes said creature more attractive during mating season.
Bad Mutations-A mutation that is harmful to an animal. Ex. Making the creature's fur color more visible to predators therefore making it more of a target. Also, the animal having some sort of mutation where it is not able to reproduce is an example of a bad mutation.
An indifferent mutation is a mutation where the animal is not put into a position where its life is at risk. Ex. albinism-see science world article on animals with albinism- or having a speech impediment.
