AB
hereditythe passing of traits from parent to offspring

genessegments of DNA that carry heredity instructions passed down from parent to offspring
allelesalternative forms of a gene that govern the same characteristics
genotypethe inherited combination of alleles
phenotypean irganism's inherited appearance
probabilitythe mathamatical chance than an event will occur
