Study Notes
Genetic Engineering
- Genetic engineering involves changing a DNA sequence.
Punnett Square
- A chart used to predict probabilities in offspring.
Recessive Allele
- An allele that only shows when it's by itself.
Heterozygote
- A genotype with different alleles.
Transgenic
- Combining DNA from different cells or organisms.
Probability
- The likelihood that something will happen.
Homozygote
- A genotype with the same alleles.
Mendel
- Considered the father of genetics.
