Nucleotide
The 4 bases
what is adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine
The different version of a trait
what is an allele?
The trait that will contribute to the phenotype if one or more of the allele is in the genotype
what is a dominant trait?
The different forms of a characteristic
What is a trait?
During replication, a base is left out
what is deletion?
The pairs of the bases
Cytosine-guanine and thymine-adenine
The combination of alleles you inherit from your parents
what is a genotype?
The trait that will contribute to the phenotype only if 2 of the alleles is in the genotype
what is a Recessive trait
Segments found in chromosomes that give instructions for producing certain characteristics
what is a gene?
During replication, a base is added
what is insertion?
Holds the bases together
what is the weak hydrogen bond?

The basic building block of the DNA
what is a nucleotide?
An organism with different alleles
what is heterozygous?
Each allele in a heterozygous individually influences the phenotype
