Sex Determination
X = Female ChromosomeY = Male Chromosome

Dominant Allele vs. Recessive AlleleSome alleles can be dominant (they will always show up) and some are recessive (these will only show up if both alleles are the same)Example: B = black fur, b = white fur
Genotype PhenotypeBB black furBb black furbb white fur
Genotype = the combination of alleles that an organism has
Phenotype = the characteristic produced by the genotype
Homozygous = having two identical alleles (e.g. HH, hh, BB, bb, KK, kk)
Heterozygous = having two different alleles (e.g. Hh, Bb, Kk)
