Genetics
Define "homozygous"
What is having inherited the same versions (alleles) of a genomic marker from each biological parent.
Define "dominate trait"
What is a trait that appears more frequently than another trait, resulting from interactions between gene alleles.
Define "Genes"
What is a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to offspring and is held to determine some characteristic of the offspring.
Define "environment"
What is the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates.
