Located at specific sites (loci) on segments of dna (chromosomes) Homologous pairs: 23 pairs of chromosomes that human somatic cells have (46 total) Gametes only contain one member of each chromosome pair (23 total) Alleles: different versions of the same gene. One allele for each gene from each parent. Recessive: only expressed if the individual is homozygous for recessive trait. Homozygous: same allele for a gene on both members of a homologue. Heterozygous: two different alleles for a gene. Genotype: combination of alleles that makes up the phenotype. Cell prepares by going through g1, s, and g2 phases.
