Introduction:

Inheritance is the method by which the alleles get transferred along the generations. Inheritance is a sharing of characters between parents and their child.

Summary Introduction

Introduction:

An allele represents different form of a particular gene, present on chromosome. A gene is responsible for a trait and variation in that particular trait is shown by different alleles. The genotype is the genetic content of the organism which determines the phenotype. On a larger extent a phenotype is defined by genotype and environmental factor
