E. g. blond hair (bb), black hair (bb: heterozygous (hetero = different) E. g. bb i. e. alleles code for different expressions of the same trait. Phenotype: catalogue of a person"s genes (genetic makeup) (genome, e. g. bb, expression of genotype (genes) to give observable characteristics, e. g. black hair, environmental factors can influence your growth. Dominant allele - b: expressed in phenotype regardless of other allele, bb or bb: dominant allele expressed, e. g. black hair. Recessive allele - b: expressed in phenotype only if present on both alleles, bb, e. g. blonde hair, predicting inheritance.
