Allele - a gene that is found in one of two or more different forms in the same position in a chromosome, and so produces a particular characteristic that can be different for different people, such as eye colour, Amino acids - proteins are made out of these, Characteristics - Special features about a particular animal or plant, Chromosomes - Long threads containing many genes, found in the nucleus of a cell, Clone - Group of cells or organisms that are genetically identical. They have all been produced from the same original cell, DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid. A complex molecule that contains coded information to control inherited characteristics, Gene - a part of the DNA in a cell that controls the physical development, behaviour, etc. of an individual plant or animal and is passed on from its parents:, Genetic engineering - Changing the genes of an organism e.g. genes from humans can be added to bacteria, Genotype - an organism's complete set of genetic material, Heterozygous - when the alleles in a pair are different e.g. Aa. If the genes of the alleles are not the same - hybrid, Homozygous - when both alleles in a pair are the same e.g. AA or aa. If the alleles are the same - pure breeding., Phenotype - the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism e.g. height, hair colour,
