Mendelian Genetics Notes
... Alternative versions of genes (alleles) account for variation in inherited characters. (Brown eyes vs blue eyes) For each character (eye color), an organism inherits 2 alleles, one from each parent. If the 2 alleles differ (Brown eyes vs blue eyes), the dominant allele is fully expressed in th ...
