Heredety:
2:The passing of genetic factors from parent to offspring (or from one generation to the next)
3:The genetic constitution of an individual
4:

That sometimes also of the inheritance of the parents are stronger genes than the other and it is from there that the characteristics come more from the person to the pope or to the mother
6:(I get it)

Trait

2:The term phenotype is sometimes used as a synonym for trait in common use, but strictly speaking, does not indicate the trait, but the state of that trait (e.g., the trait eye color has the phenotypes blue, brown and hazel).
3:A trait may be any single feature or quantifiable measurement of an organism.
4:

5:Traits include physical attributes of an organism such as hair color, leaf shape, size, etc., and behavioral characteristics, such as bird nesting.

6:

:(I get it)

Gene

2:
It is because a gene is a segment of DNA (on a specific site on a chromosome) that is responsible for the physical and inheritable characteristics or phenotype of an organism. It also specifies the structure of a protein, and an RNA molecule.
A gene is formerly called a factor.
3:
A gene that is involved in the production of a substance that controls or regulates the expression of one or more genes, such as the gene that codes for a repressor protein that inhibits the activity of an operator gene.
4:

5:In the operon model, the regulatory genes are those that code for the production of regulatore proteins.
6:( I get it)

Allele

2:One member of a pair (or any of the series) of genes occupying a specific spot on a chromosome (called locus) that controls the same trait.
3:In humans, simple traits such as eye color may be caused by the interaction of only one pair of alleles. But for complex traits, such as height, they are usually caused by the interactons of series of alleles. Some alleles are dominant over other alleles, as in the case of heterozygous pairings (where paired alleles are different, in contrast to heterozygous pairings where alleles are the same
4:

5:

Colloquially, the term gene is used when referring to an inherited trait that is usually accompanied by a phenotype as in ‘tall genes’ or ‘bad genes’ – but the more proper (scientific) term for this is allele.
6: I Kinda get it

dominant

linnybarrientos1799 — 2017-03-20 16:36:36 UTC

2: (Of, or pertaining to) An allele or a gene that is expressed in an organism’s phenotype, masking the effect of the recessive allele or gene when present.
3: Of, or pertaining to) An organism that expresses the dominant gene or alleli
4:

5:In ecology, a dominant refers to an organism, such as an animal, dominating a social hierarchy and usually is the top predator with the greatest access to food resources, territory and mate.
6:I get it

Recessive

linnybarrientos1799 — 2017-03-20 16:50:52 UTC

2:(genetics) A genetic trait that results from the expression of the two recessive alleles
3:
When the dominant allele is lacking or when the two alleles present are both recessive, their expression results in a recessive trait.

4:

5:A gene that is expressed onlywhen it is present in two copies or if theother copy is missing.
6:I kinda get it
