Transcript Heredity

Heredity
Inherited traits-traits that are passed on from
parents to offsprings.
Genes-tiny message units
Learned trait-a trait that is not passed on in DNA
Dominant trait-a trait that will be expressed if it is
inherited.
Recessive trait-a trait that is not expressed if paired
with a dominant trait
Incomplete dominance-the expression of both
genes in a pair, producing a blended effect
Genetic engineering-the process by which genes
are manipulated to bring about biological
change in species.
Gene splicing-a process by which genes are
manipulated to alter the function or nature of
an organism, usually by being transferred from
one organism to another.
