Study Notes

Classical Genetics

Classical genetics is the branch of genetics focused on observable outcomes of reproduction.

Genotype vs. Phenotype

Genotype: An organism's genetic makeup (e.g., BB, Bb, bb).
Phenotype: Observable physical traits resulting from the genotype (e.g., purple flowers, white flowers).

Alleles

An allele is a variant of a gene that controls the same trait.
Alleles usually appear in pairs.
Alleles can be dominant or recessive, affecting how they express.

Homozygous vs. Heterozygous

Homozygous: Having two identical alleles for a gene (e.g., BB, bb).
Heterozygous: Having two different alleles for a gene (e.g., Bb).

Dominant vs. Recessive

Dominant allele: Expressed even when paired with a recessive allele, the trait will be visible.
Recessive allele: Visible only when paired with another recessive allele; hidden by dominant traits.
