GENES AND
CHROMOSOMES
✓ Why is your hair
brown/black?

Why are your eyes

black/brown?
WHAT IS a GENE?
● genos – “race,
stock, offspring”
● Contains
information
CHROMOSOMES
WHAT IS a TRAIT?
● characteristic features
of an individual
● e.g. eye and hair color
(visible), blood type
(hidden)
WHAT IS a TRAIT?

● May be determined by
genetics and/or
environmental factors
rolled tongue unrolled tongue
● WHERE DO YOU FIND
THE GENES?
● WHAT DOES IT CONTAIN?
WHAT IS an ALLELE?

● one of two or
more alternative
forms of a gene
WHAT IS a DOMINANT AND
RECESSIVE ALLELE?
● Dominant – always appears or
expressed by several generations in
the family.
● Recessive – no dominant allele
present
IDENTIFY IF IT’S A HOMOZYGOUS
OR HETEROZYGOUS.
