Define:

phenotype

genotype

heterozygous

homozygous

phenotype- an individual's observable traits (ex. hair color, widows peak)

genotype- genetic makeup representing the pair of alleles inherited for a particular trait

heterozygous- different alleles in a genotype (ex. Bb)

homozygous- same alleles in a genotype (ex. BB or BB)

Chad has a genetic mutation called Down Syndrome. What is a genetic mutation? (Don't need to know what the specific gene mutation is)

A genetic mutation is an abnormal strand in DNA that results in a disorder.

FYI:

Down Syndrome is called Trisomy 21 which means Chad has three chromosomes

on chromosome 21.
