GENETIC GENETIC TERMINOLOGYTERMINOLOGY
•DominantDominant•RecessiveRecessive•HomozygousHomozygous•HeterozygouHeterozygouss
•GenotypeGenotype•PhenotypPhenotypee
•TraitTrait•AlleleAllele
• Dominant allele- trait is always expressed if present
- Written as capital letter
- Ex. Tall= T• Recessive allele- only expressed if no dominant
allele is present – (Dominant allele masks this one)
- For a particular trait written as the sameletter but lower case
- Ex. Short= t
Dominant and Recessive Alleles
• Genotype- the genes you get from your parents– Two letters represent the two alleles– One from mom one from dad – TT, Tt, tt
• Phenotype- the physical trait, what you look like – Tall short, yellow or green – TT, tt what is the phenotype??
• Homozygous - the same alleles for a gene – TT, tt
• Heterozygous - having different alleles for a gene– Tt
Trait = HeightTrait = Height
TALL SHORT alleles
Flower Color Trait
Gene- unit of inherited information in DNA Allele- alternative form of a gene ( white purple)
Test Cross- mate an unknown genotype ( TT or Tt) with homozygous recessive (tt)

In Starfish In Starfish being being redred is is
dominant over dominant over being being pinkpink.. What would What would
PatrickPatrick’’s s phenotypephenotype be? What be? What would his would his
genotypegenotype be? be?
Because Patrick is pink… his
phenotype is PINKPINK
And since pink is
recessive – his
genotype
would be “rrrr ”
RedRed is dominant over
pinkpinkSuppose we
had a HETEROZYGO
US redred starfish what
would the genotype be?
Rr
