  • Hi, Thanks for watching my video about some common terms used in genetics or inheritance.
    In this video I'll walk you through
    - Genetics: Study of heredity and variation
    - Inheritance: Transfer of characters from parents to offspring
    - Trait: A distinguishing quality or characteristic, developed by a factor (gene).
    - Gene: A gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA, which is responsible for a particular character
    - Allele: An allele is one of two or more versions of a gene. An individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. OR Alternate form of gene is called Allele
    - Locus: Position of a gene on a chromosome
    - Homozygous: Homozygous is a genetic condition where an individual inherits the same alleles for a particular gene from both parents
    - Heterozygous: Having two different alleles of a particular gene If the alleles of a gene are different, one allele will be expressed; it is the dominant gene. The effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked.
    - Phenotype: The term "phenotype" refers to the observable physical properties of an organism.
    - Genotype: A genotype is an organism's set of heritable genes that can be passed down from parents to offspring. Genetic makeup of organism for a particular trait
