Solution

The variations of genes inherited from parents are referred to as alleles. These alleles can be dominant or recessive.

  1. Alleles: These are different forms of the same gene. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. These alleles may be the same (homozygous) or different (heterozygous).

  2. Dominant: A dominant allele is one that is expressed in the phenotype even if only one copy is present.

  3. Recessive: A recessive allele is one that is only expressed in the phenotype if two copies are present.

  4. Genotype: This
