I CAN explain how inherited traits are passed from generation to generation and how they are different than learned traits. Name _______________________________________ Period _____ Date_____________________________ Heredity—the passing of traits from parents to offspring--- Vocabulary Read the vocabulary word and definition. Provide an example of how you may use the word (right column). Genetic Terms Definition offspring The child or product of sexual or asexual reproduction in plants, animals, and all other living things. inherited trait A behavioral or physical characteristic that is passed from parent to their offspring. gene A segment (a piece) of DNA that codes for a specific protein. alleles different forms of a single gene dominant the allele that is expressed even if only one copy is present—Dominant alleles hide recessive alleles. recessive the allele that needs two copies to express the trait— Recessive alleles are hidden if a dominant allele is present. genotype the combination of alleles that an organism has—This determines what trait the organism will have. phenotype the physical or behavioral trait that is shown or expressed heterozygous a genotype with two different alleles for the trait (Rr) homozygous a genotype with two of the same alleles for the trait (RR or rr) An example
