Biol 1410: anatomy of the human body - lecture 10: heredity. The transfer of genetically determined characteristics from one generation to the. Alleles code for different traits that can be passed down form parent to offspring. Homozygous o o o same allele of a particular gene on homologous chromosomes both alleles express same version of the same trait examples: blond hair (bb, black hair (bb) Genotype: different alleles (versions) of the same gene e. g. bb (black hair: genetic makeup, shows whether homozygous or heterozygous, e. g. bb. Phenotype: outward expression of a genotype, readily observable characteristics, e. g. black hair next. Dominant allele: capital letter (b, expressed in phenotype regardless of what the other allele codes for, example: bb and bb both outwardly express black hair. Recessive allele - b: lower case letter (b, only expressed in the phenotype if homozygous, example: bb outwardly expresses blonde hair while bb only expresses black hair, predicting inheritance.
