Structures found in the nucleus of a cell that contains the genetic information (DNA)

Genetic Information in a double helix shape

A segment of DNA found on a chromosome that determines the inheritance of a single trait.

the set of genes carried by the organism

the physical expressions of the genes

A trait that will always be expressed in the phenotype. Represented by Capital letters

A trait that will only be expressed in the phenotype if two recessive alleles are present. Represented by lower case letters

One gene from the pair

a tool used to predict the ratio or percentage of the possible genes that an offspring will have based on the genes of the parent

condition when the dominant allele does not completely mask the recessive

condition when there is more than one dominant allele. As a result, both alleles will be expressed in the phenotype

Having two copies of the same allele

Having a copy of one dominant allele, and one recessive allele

any change in the genes of an organism;

type of genetic engineering. It is a process humans use to breed or reinforce desired traits into a particular organism

the manipulation of an organism's genes (genome).

Process of making an exact copy of either a DNA sequence (gene), cell, tissue, or organism

Uses genome editing to treat bad genes that cause illness or disease by replacing them with good genes

organisms that have had their genome edited in a way that does not occur naturally.

The passing of traits from one generation to another
