This is the process by which an offspring cell or organism acquires or becomes predisposed to the characteristics of its parent cell or organism.

In my words heredity is the traits passed down from your family to you.

This makes me think of all the traits passed down from my parents to me.

I really get it.

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)

A trait is something that you have that not everyone else has in your species such as eye color, your whole species doesn't have the same exact eyes.

A trait makes me think of my personality no one has one like mine.

i understand perfectly

i think a gene is a group of forming part of a chromosome which is determining the order of the monomers and polymers.

This makes me think about everything that i have learned in biology this year

i understand it

one of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.


Different form of a gene 

I mostly understand 

This make me think about what Alleles determined what i look like

The gene that will over power the other one.

This makes me wonder what traits do i have that are dominant 

I understand perfectly

The recessive trait may be expressed when the recessive genes are in homozygous condition or when the dominant gene is not present.

The gene that occurs least often and won't occur when there is a dominant gene.

This makes me think about what recessive gene traits i might have

I understand perfectly.
