Definitions
- Dominant Gene- the gene that is expressed when only one copy is present in a heterozygous condition.
- Recessive Gene- the gene that is hidden in a heterozygous condition and can only be expressed when two copies are present.
- Genotype- the genetic makeup of a specific set of genes. A capital letter designates the dominant gene and the lower case letter represents the recessive gene. When a dominant and recessive gene are combined, the dominant is written first.
- Phenotype- the expression of an allele or physical appearence.

Analysis Questions
- The difference between heterozygous and homozygous is that homozygous has only one type of allele and that heterozygous has two different types.
- The red bean had more influence and this is because the Red bean is the dominant trait.
- A genotype is the genes that make up a specific trait.
- The phenotype is what shows up. It is the physical embodiment of the genotype.
- A dominant phenotype can have two because it can be homozygous dominant or heterozygous.
- The only type of genes in a recessive genotype are the lowercase allele.
- No they did not all look the same.
- They were both heterozygous.
