🔀Allele

One of two or more versions of a gene.

🔢Aneuploidy

The presence of an abnormal number of chromosomes.

👑Autosomal Dominant

A trait requiring only one dominant allele on an autosome.

🙈Autosomal Recessive

A trait requiring two recessive alleles on autosomes.

🧬Autosome

Any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome.

🎒Carrier

An individual with a recessive allele who does not show the trait.
