 *  Trait - A trait is either a behaviorial, physical, or predisposition to disease and is influenced by genes and the environment
 *  Dominant - Dominant genes (or alleles) have priority in the pair of alleles, and makes recessive alleles obsolete when present
 *  Recessive - Recessive genes (or alleles) do not have priority in the pair of alleles, and are disregarded if a dominant allele is present
 *  Homozygote - Having two of the same alleles concerning a trait
 *  Heterozygote - Having differentiating alleles concerning a trait
 *  Codominant - Having no dominance, and where each allele contributes equally to the offspring
 *  Genotypes - The combination of alleles in an offspring (eg. EE = Homozygous dominant, Ee = Heterozygous)
 * Phenotype - How the genes (alleles) are physically expressed (eg. Eye colour, hair colour)
 * Punnet Square - An illustration to demonstrate which genotypes can be produced from the parents
