- inherited characteristics
- genes are found on long structures called chromosomes
- these structures are found in the nucleus
- each body cell has 46 copies of each of these structures
- these structures are found in the nucleus
- different genes for the same characteristic are called alleles
- an example of this is the gene, eye colour and its alleles would be blue, brown and green
- heterozygous- the alleles are different types eg. Ee
- homozygous- the alleles are the same eg. EE
- allele- different versions of a gene
- dominant alleles- observed if present
- recessive allele- observed if dominant allele is absent
- genotype- genetic makeup
- phenotype- charactaristicsobserved
- genes are found on long structures called chromosomes
