- Dominant gene - the gene that is expressed when only one copy is present in a heterozygous condition.
- Recessive gene - the gene that is hidden in a heterozygous condition and can only be expressed when two copies are present.
- Genotype - the genetic makeup of a specific set of genes. A capital letter designates the dominant gene and the lower case letter represents the recessive gene. When a dominant and recessive gene are combined, the dominant gene is written first.
- Phenotype - the expression of an allele or physical appearance.
Analysis
- Homozygous is when the same uppercase or lowercase letters are together. Heterozygous is when the letters are different.
- Yes the dominant trait had a greater influence. The dominant trait was the red bean. This occurs because it is dominant and there are two possible ways to
- A genotype is the specific gene code.
- A phenotype is the physical appearance portrayed by the genotype.
- A dominant phenotype has two possible genotypes because it can be achieved by either a uppercase and lowercase letter or two uppercase letters.
- The only possible genotype for a recessive trait is two lowercase letters.
- Not all of the cats that were drawn looked the same.
- They could have been anything but homozygous dominant. To be heterozygous they could have been anything.
