Sophia: Traits: Lesson 2
This lesson will explain how traits are passed down by alleles, and that one particular genotype determines one particular phenotype. It is 2 of 3 in the series titled "Traits."

Mutation is a process that changes a DNA sequence. But how does a difference in a gene's DNA sequence (or genotype) lead to a difference in an observable trait (or phenotype)?
