Genetic Map

A genetic map is a representation of the order and approximate distances between genes or other DNA sequences on a chromosome, valuable for understanding genetic linkage and inheritance patterns.

Dominant Gene

An allele that expresses its phenotypic effect even when heterozygous with a recessive allele, determining the characteristic it codes for.

Recessive Gene

A gene that must be present on both chromosomes in a pair to express a recessive trait, unlike a dominant gene where only one is necessary for the trait to be expressed.
