Classical genetics studies the production of the descendants of a pair of parents with certain genetic characteristics. In the simplest case the genetic type of an individual is determined by a pair of genes each of which can be of one of two types, G and g. A given individual can have these genes in the combination GG (dominant person), or Gg (genetically not different from the combination gG; hybrid individual), or, finally, gg (recessive individual); GG- and Gg-individuals do not differ in appearance from one another, but a gg-individual is different from them.
