Dominant Gene- the gene that is expressed when only one copy is present in a heterozygous condition
Recessive Gene- the gene that is hidden in a heterozygous condition and can only be expressed when two copies are present
Genotype- the genetic makeup of a specific set of genes. A capital letter designates the dominant gene and the lower case letter represents the recessive gene. When a dominant and recessive gene are combined, the dominate gene is written first
Phenotype- the expression of an allele or physical appearance

1. Homozygous means that they have two of the same alleles and heterozygous means that they have different alleles.
2. Yes, the red bean was the dominant trait so it had a greater influence
3. A genotype is the genetic makeup of a specific trait
4. A phenotype is the physical appearance for a specific trait
5. A dominant phenotype has two possible genotypes because it can have two dominant possible trait combinations (Rr or RR)
6. The only possible genotype for a recessive trait is two lowercase letters
7. All cats that were drawn didn't look the same.
8. The mother and father were only heterozygous or homozygous recessive.
