| Gene mutation | A change in the nucleotide sequence of a section of DNA, coding for a particular feature |

| Gene | The allele combination of an organism |
| Phenotype | The characteristics of an organism |

| Codominant Alleles | Pairs of alleles that both affect the phenotype when present in a heterozygote |
| Locus | The particular position on homologous chromosomes of a gene |
| Homozygous | Having two identical alleles of a gene |
| Heterozygous | Having two different alleles of a gene |
| Carrier | An individual that has one copy of a recessive allele that causes a genetic disease in individuals that are homozygous for this allele |
