Alleles - different versions of the same gene; for example, blue and brown are different versions for eye color, Dominant (what letter?) - a trait that is expressed over another trait, Gene - a section of DNA that determines a specific trait, such as eye color, Genetics - the study of heredity, Genotype - the combination of alleles for a particular trait (homozygous or heterozygous), Heredity - the passing of traits from one generation to the next, Heterozygous (or hybrid) - ha2 different alleles for same trait; 1 recessive, dominant, Homozygous (or pure) - have two of the same alleles for a trait, Homozygous dominant - having two dominant alleles for a trait , Homozygous recessive - having two recessive alleles for a trait, Law of dominance - a dominant allele will always mask/dominate a recessive allele, Gregor Mendel - an Austrian monk whose study of garden peas earned him the title Father of Genetics, Phenotype - the physical feature of an organism that show how genes are expressed, Recessive (what letter?) - a trait that can be hidden by another trait, Traits - characteristics; often physical qualities such as color, height, etc., Principle of segregation - Parent has 2 alleles but transmits only one to the next generation ( offspring), Principle of independent assortment - alleles of 2 different genes get sorted into the offspring independently,
