  1. Genotype and Phenotype

  2. Genotype - The actual gene makeup of an organism • Genotype - The letters you’re made up of • Ex: - Hh or HH or hh

  3. It is made up of two alleles, one from each parent • It’s got two letters, one from Mom and one from Pop

  4. Homozygous (Purebred) Both alleles are the same Both capital or both lowercase letters Example - GG or gg

  5. Heterozygous (Hybrid) • Alleles are different • One capital and one lowercase • Example - Gg

  6. Phenotype- The physical characteristics of an organism It’s what you look like Example - Tall, brown hair, …
