Allele

(of a gene or trait) showing its specific appearance only when an individual inherits it from both parents

(of genes) causing a person to inherit a particular physical feature, even if it is only present in one parent's genome

dominant

the process by which information from a gene is used to synthesize functional gene products, such as proteins, which can influence an organism's traits

to alter or change the genetic makeup of an organism through genetic engineering techniques

(biology) a change in the structure of the genes of an individual that causes them to develop different physical features

Mutation

to receive traits or attributes from a previous generation through genetic inheritance
