Abstract
Genetics includes the study of genotypes, phenotypes and the mechanisms of genetic control between them. Genetic terms describe the processes, genes, alleles and traits with which genetic phenomena are described and examined. In this chapter we will concentrate on the discussions of genetic term standardizations and, at the end of the chapter, we will list some terms relevant to genetic processes and concepts in a Genetic Glossary.
