- Genotype: The genetic makeup of an organism for a particular trait — the pair of alleles inherited (for example AA, Aa, or aa). The genotype is the DNA information that can determine potential traits.
- Phenotype: The observable physical or biochemical traits of an organism (what you actually see), such as flower color, height, or blood type. The phenotype results from the genotype plus environmental influences.
- Homozygous: Having two identical alleles for a given gene (e.g., AA or aa). If both copies are the same, the genotype is homozygous (can be homozygous dominant AA or homozygous recessive aa).
- Heterozygous: Having two different alleles for a given gene (e.g., Aa). In a heterozygote, one allele may be dominant and determine the phenotype while the other is recessive.
