10. AIM: Genetics Do now: What is Gene?
What is difference between genotype and phenotype?

11. The basic units of heredity are called genes
Genes are from parents
Gene function in pairs  always have two

12. Genotype: The entire genetic makeup of an organism
The actual Gene (allele) Genetic Variation
Consists of two letters that represent a gene’s allele

13. Depends on the interaction of genetic and environmental factors.
Phenotype: An organism's appearance or other physically observable traits
Depends on the interaction of genetic and environmental factors.
Ex: hair color, eye color, sickle cell disease, etc.

16. A gene can be recessive or dominant.
• A recessive gene only shows if the individual has two copies of the recessive gene.
For example, the gene for blue eyes is recessive. You need two copies of the gene to have blue eyes.

17. A dominant gene always shows, even if the individual only has one copy of the gene.
For example, the gene for brown eyes is dominant. You only need one copy of the gene to have brown eyes (and two copies will still give you brown eyes!).

19. Homozygous: a trait is made up of two of the SAME alleles
For example) ff, FF, gg, GG, aa, AA
Heterozygous: a trait is made of two different alleles.
For example) Ff. Gg. Aa. Yy. Bb
