Mouse Genetics (1 Trait)
... We begin our study of genetics today with single trait inheritance. In general, every type of gene has two versions, called alleles. In this example, the allele for black fur is F and the allele for white fur is f. The genotype is the combination of alleles that an organism has, for example FF, Ff, ...
