Trait
 Specific physical characteristics
 Examples: tall/short,
blue/brown eyes
Heredity
 Passing of traits
from parent to
offspring
Genetics
 Scientific study
of heredity
Allele
 One of the alternative forms of a gene
that determines a characteristic, such as
hair color.
Genes
 Factors that
control traits
Gregor Mendel
 Father of
genetics
Purebred
 having two like
genes
Hybrid
 having two
unlike genes
Dominant
 Stronger gene
that always
shows itself
Recessive
 Weaker gene
that is hidden
when dominant
gene is present
Phenotype
 A visible
characteristic
Genotype
 Actual gene
makeup of a
person
Punnett Square
 Chart that
shows possible
gene
combinations
