Summary Introduction

To describe:

The prediction of the genotype and phenotypes of offspring if you know the genotype of the parents.

Concept introduction:

An individual having two different alleles of a particular gene giving rise to different offspring is known a heterozygote. A phenotype is the fusion of an organism's noticeable features or traits, such as its morphology, development, biochemical or physiological properties. The genotype is the part of the genetic makeup of a cell, and that of an individual, which determines one of its characteristics.
