Borrow a copy of the “Genes and Heredity” handout and read pages 112-116 (there are multiple page 114’s - please read them all!) and page 122.
We rearranged the terms from yesterday on page 59, so that Allele now comes first, and dominant trait and recessive trait follow - be sure to rearrange the terms and copy the definition for Allele as shown for yesterday’s notes below.
