six basic principles of genetics are....
- Traits, or characteristics, are passed on from one generation of organisms to the next generation
- The traits of an organism are controlled by genes
- Organisms inherit genes in pairs, one gene from each parent
- Some genes are dominant, whereas other genes are recessive
- Dominant genes hide recessive genes when both are inherited by an organism
- Some genes are neither dominant nor recessive. These genes show incomplete dominance
