Mrs. Deringerʼs Vocabulary for Heredity Unit 1. traits - characteristics 2. genetics - the study of heredity 3. Gregor Mendel - father of genetics 4. allele - different forms of a single gene 5. dominant allele - a variation of a gene that masks a recessive allele. It is represented by a capital letter when doing Punnett Squares. 6. recessive allele - a variation of a gene that is hidden by a dominant allele. It is represented by a lower case letter when doing Punnett Squares. 7. genes - segments of DNA that carry hereditary information from the parents to the offspring. They are the codes for proteins and are found on chromosomes. 8. genotype - an organism’s genetic make up. The two alleles that make up the gene. For example TT, or Bb, or Yy. 9. phenotype - the physical characteristic of an organism. For eacmple: brown hair , blue eyes, tongue roller. It is the trait that is physically seen. 10. pure bred - both allels for the gene are the same. For example: BB, bb, or tt, or YY. Mrs. Deringerʼs Vocabulary for Heredity Unit 11. hybrid - One allele for the gene is dominant and one is recessive. Hybrid genotypes always lead to dominant phenotypes. 12. heredity - the passing on of traits from parents to offspring. 13. Punnett Squares - a chart used to help you figure out the probability of receiving a trait. 14. probability - in genetics, probability is the chance of getting a certain genotype or phenotype.
