In fact chromosomes get distributed, genes like albino always sit on the same chromosome. And each BP has each chromosome 2 times. Heterozygous: the two chromosomes in question are different. Homozygous: the two chromosomes both have the gene in question.
All it shows that two genes sit together, and the statistics of inheritance. which is about as far as you need to know for this discussion. I also know judy would be more than happy if you made some accurate pictures to replace them.

We could go recessive, not recessive, co-dom, and dom?
