    A structure found in the nucleus of a cell that contains the genetic information (DNA).

  • Q3
    Homozygous
    the offspring either has two copies of the dominant allele or two copies of the recessive allele.
    30s
  • Q4
    Heterozygous
    the offspring has one copy of the dominant allele (trait) and one copy of the recessive allele (trait).

  • Q5
    A characteristic that can be pass on to its offspring through its genes.
    Trait
    30s
  • Q6
    Dominant
    The version of a trait that will be expressed regardless of the other allele(s) that is(are) present.
    30s
  • Q7
    Recessive
