18. Genes (cont) Genes for a trait come in pairs
One gene from that pair is called an allele.

Represented by combination of letters
PHENOTYPE- physical characteristics
What it looks like

20. Inherited Traits Characteristics passed from parent to offspring
Some dominant
Some recessive

21. Dominant Trait Trait that will always be expressed
Represented by capital letters

22. Recessive Trait
Trait that will only be expressed if 2 recessive alleles are present
If a dominant allele is present, the recessive trait will not be expressed
