Alleles- different types of a gene

Dominant- The expressed form of the trait

Recessive- The trait not expressed when the dominant form of the trait is present

Homozygous- When two alleles in a gene are the same, then they are homozygous

Heterozygous- When two alleles in a gene are different, then they are heterozygous
