The instructions for a specific trait • Found on one section of DNA • You have a different gene(s) for each of the following traits: • Hair color • Eye color • Hitchhiker’s thumb • Tongue rolling • Height GENE
The different forms of a gene. • Examples: • Hitchhiker’s thumb OR Straight thumb • Can roll tongue OR Can’t roll tongue • Blonde hair OR Black hair OR Brown hair OR Red hair • (Note: One allele comes from each parent.) allele
Alleles that cover up all other alleles. • Hides, covers, masks, or over-powers • Always shows up when present (it dominates!) • Shown with UPPERCASE letters. • Examples: • H • B • A Dominant Alleles
Alleles that get covered up by any dominant allele. • Shown with lowercase letters. • Examples: • h • b • a Recessive alleles
