It’s genetics, Inheritance.

How traits are passed on

It’s genetics:

How traits are passed on

We each have genes

Found on every chromosome and

They code for traits

Your eyes are green

But his are grey and mine are brown

All caused by genes

You have two genes, one from mom and one from dad

They’re called alleles

Two of the same and homozygous is your name

You’re heterozygous if it’s one of each

homozygous

heterozygous

It’s genetics, Inheritance.

It’s genetics:

How traits are passed on

Phenotype expression of genes, what you look like

These are your traits

Genotype the genes that control characteristics

On chromosomes

Dominance expressing one trait over another

Recessive is masked

Autosomes they do not determine gender,

Like sex chromosomes
