Bell Ringer: What is an allele?
We began class by discussing dominance/recessiveness, genotypes, phenotypes, genes, and alleles.
Gene: part of a chromosome that codes for a specific protein
Allele: different forms of a gene
Dominant Gene: masks a recessive gene
Recessive Gene: masked by a dominant gene
Genotype: Describes the gene
Phenotype: Describes the trait
Next we worked on a packet that goes over genotypes and phenotypes (get from me when you return to school. Last of all students did a taste lab.
