alleles | different forms of the same gene |

heterozygous | when both alleles are different |
gametes have | 1 copy of a gene |
a zygote has | 2 copies of a gene |
genotype | the genes for a characteristic |
phenotype | characteristic displayed due to a genotype |
BB | is a homozygous genotype |
Bb | is a heterozygous genotype |
cc | is a recessive homozygous genotype |
