CB3c Alleles

Progression questions:-
* What is the difference between a gene and an allele?
* Why will a recessive allele not affect the phenotype of an organism that is heterozygous for that gene?
* Why are genetic diagrams useful?

AB
allelesdifferent forms of the same gene
homozygouswhen both alleles are the same
heterozygouswhen both alleles are different
gametes have1 copy of a gene
a zygote has2 copies of a gene
genotypethe genes for a characteristic
phenotypecharacteristic displayed due to a genotype
BBis a homozygous genotype
Bbis a heterozygous genotype
ccis a recessive homozygous genotype
HHis a homozygous dominant genotype
genetic diagrams are used topredict the ratios of phenotypes in offspring
