No offense, If the subject requires those terms, then they must be used. As they are the actual discription of what is being discussed.



If you do not understand them, then you ask a specific question, like what the heck is an allele or what is phenotype. Or you can google those words or terms. But if you do that, your answers will most likely be a little out of context, as most of these terms are normally used in other areas of science. They can be sorta refit here.



If you ask the folks using them, what they mean, you will stay in context and within the thread.



If one person has it wrong(for here) then others will be quick to help define those terms.



How you learn is taking your understanding up to these others, level, Not having them talk DOWN to your level. Good luck and please the key to this area of science is ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS, its not necessarily the answers. Cheers
