1 Vocab Gene- Units of heredity; segments of DNA on chromosomes
Allele- different forms of the same gene; represented by a letter (“B” or “b”) Dominant- A trait that is shown when at least 1 dominant allele is present, represented by a capitol letter (ex. B)“stronger trait” Recessive- A trait that is only shown if 2 recessive alleles are inherited , represented by a lower case letter (ex. b) “weaker trait” Genotype- Gene makeup of an organism (RR, Rr, or rr) Phenotype- Physical appearance (brown hair, green eyes) Homozygous- genotypes with the same alleles; either 2 dominant or 2 recessive Heterozygous- genotypes with different alleles; one dominant and one recessive

2 Reebop Genetics You will be determining the genotypes and phenotypes of a Reebop by flipping a coin.

3 BODY SEGMENTS: TAIL: BB or Bb = 3 body segments bb = 2 body segments
Straight tail = tt Curly tail = TT or Tt

4 2 eyes = EE or Ee No eyes = ee
ANTENNA: 2 Round antenna = AA or Aa 2 Flowered antenna = aa

5 NO WINGS = hh LEGS HOVER WINGS 2 Hover wings = HH or Hh
Blue legs = L L or Ll Yellow legs = l l
