| Definition of Gene | GENES: Section of DNA that holds the code for one specific characteristics/trait. Located at specific sites (locus) of chromosome; e.g: hair colour, ability to tongue roll, eye colour etc. |
| Definition of Alleles | ALLELES: Alternative forms of a gene. Codes for same characteristics/traits e.g: eye colour but have slight different order of bases which cause different traits thus cause variation. e.g: CHARACTERISTICS: Eye colour, ALLELES: B,b, E.G OF TRAITS CAUSED BY DIFF ALLELES: brown eyes, blue eyes |
| Genotype | Combination of alleles present (can't see) e.g: one allele for brown eyes, one alleles for blue eyes |
| Phenotype | The trait/characteristics that is actually seen |
