In my words: It is where certain characteristics like humor or eye color is passed from a parent to a child, for other stuff its the same thing like animals it would be fur or how loud they are. Its passing traits from the parents to the offspring.   

Makes me think of: Why I'm so much like my Dad.

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).

In my own Words: What is passed down that brings out the genetics in offspring. 

Makes me think of: How my hair texture is the same as my mom's.

Supplement. 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.

In my own Words: This makes us (as offspring) Able to receive the traits passed down from our parents, if we didn't have the Gene for it we wouldn't have characteristics and traits from our parents. 

Makes me think of: The DNA and how it encodes information that is required for us to be who we are. 

I get it

Sometimes, different alleles can result in different observable phenotypic traits, such as different pigmentation. However, most genetic variations result in little or no observable variation.

In my own words: The same gene in different forms. 

Makes me think of: tRNA

The first allele is dominant and the second allele is recessive.

In my own words: Basically its the relationship between two Alleles 

Makes me think of: How two things that are the same can be used for two completely different tasks. 

I think I get it.

A recessive gene is a gene that can be masked by a dominant gene. In order to have a trait that is expressed by a recessive gene, such as blue eyes, you must get the gene for blue eyes from both of your parents. You might remember the word recessive from biology, where it most often appears.

In my own words: Its a gene that both the parents have in common, such as if both parents have green eyes their kid will probably have green eyes.

Makes me think of: Why did I get green eyes when only my mom has green eyes.
