    An allele is a variable version of a gene found at the same locus on a chromosome that influences an organism's phenotype. Genes are the basic units of heredity located on chromosomes that code for proteins. A dominant allele or gene is expressed while a recessive one is only expressed when two copies are present. Homozygous means identical alleles from both parents while heterozygous means different alleles. An organism's genotype is its set of genes and alleles, while its phenotype is its observable traits resulting from genotype and environment. Mendelian inheritance describes Gregor Mendel's discovery of dominant and recessive genes through pea plant experiments.

    Activity #4: Genetics Unlocking Words

    Allele
     A variable version of a gene is known as an allele. Some genes exist in several distinct
    versions, all of which are found at the same genetic locus on a chromosome. Alleles play a
    role in the phenotypic of an organism, which is how it appears on the outside.

    Genes
     The fundamental unit of heredity that is located on a chromosome at a specified position.
    Each is made up of a linear arrangement of nucleotides. Most genes code for a specific protein
    or protein fragment that results in a certain feature or function.

    Dominant
     In genetics, the phrase "dominant" refers to an allele, a gene, or a characteristic that is
    expressed. As a result of interactions between gene alleles, one characteristic arises more
    frequently than another.

    Recessive
     Blue eye color is a recessive characteristic, meaning it can be masked by a dominant gene
    and can only be seen when two copies of the gene are present. recessive.

    Homozygous
     is a genetic condition in which a person receives the identical alleles from both parents for a
    certain gene.

    Heterozygous
     Refers to having inherited various versions of a gene from each of one's parents. A
    heterozygous genotype differs from a homozygous genotype, which means that an individual
    receives identical copies of a gene from both parents.

    Genotype
     A genotype is the set of genes that make up an individual. The phrase can also apply to the
    two alleles that are inherited for a certain gene. When the information encoded in the genes'
    DNA is used to generate protein and RNA molecules, the genotype is expressed. The
    expression of the genotype contributes to the phenotype, or observable traits, of a person.

    Phenotype
     The word "phenotype" is defined in biology as an organism's observable and quantifiable
    features as a result of the interplay of the organism's genes, environmental conditions, and
    random variation. The phenotype of an organism will comprise not just visible aspects such as
    morphology, but also molecules and structures such as RNA and proteins created as
    programmed by genes; this is known as "molecular phenotype."
    Mendelian Inheritance
     Refers to the inheritance patterns that are unique to sexually reproducing organisms. Gregor
    Mendel, an Austrian monk, performed hundreds of crosses with garden peas at his monastery
    in the mid-nineteenth century. Mendel explained his findings by introducing the concept of
    dominant and recessive genes by establishing two rules of inheritance.
