Genetics

3. two identical
5. The genetic contribution to the phenotype is called the genotype. Some traits are largely determined by the genotype, while other traits are largely determined by environmental factors.
6. a basic unit of heredity and a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that encodes the synthesis of a gene product, either RNA or protein.
8. Mendel Later, he was recognized for his seminal works on genetics. For this, he has become the father of genetics.
11. of dominance Rather than both alleles contributing to a phenotype, the dominant allele will be expressed exclusively.
12. The other gene will be masked
13. The term also can refer to the two alleles inherited for a particular gene.
14. of segregation Each parent passes an allele at random to their offspring resulting in a diploid organism.
15. a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms.

1. will not be manifested in an individual unless both of the individual's copies of that gene have that particular genotype.
2. a long DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.
4. genotype may include one normal allele and one mutated allele or two different mutated alleles
7. determined by genes or the environment, or more commonly by interactions between them
9. In genetics it is normal for genes to show deviations or diversity
10. of independent assortment In other words, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.
