I don't know what most of these stand for yet
But, Uppercase stand for Dom genes and lower case Rec genes..... I think
LOL
Here's a site

Some info....
Genetic terms:
Genotype: The genetic makeup of the organism
Phenotype: The physical appearance of the organism
Sexual Dimorphism: Sexual dimorphism includes differing colour/pattern forms between the two sexes of a species, i.e. not restricted to physical body traits. The gender colour/pattern differences in the wild type Red Jungle Fowl (black breasted red roosters, salmon breasted hens, etc) are two alternate colour/pattern forms, the particular form expressed dependent on gender.
P1 Parent 1 (in first cross)
F1 F2...... First Filial, Second Filial (1st Generation, etc)
BC1.... etc: Back Cross 1 (cross F1 back to Parent, etc)
Gene A unit of hereditary , a section of DNA found on a chromosome that codes for a particular protein
Locus (Loci - plural) The location of an Allele on the Chromosome
Allele One of two alternate forms of a gene that has the same locus on homologous chromosomes
Chromosome A threadlike body in the cell nucleus that carries the genes in a linear order
Homozygous Where alleles of a locus on homologous chromosomes are the same
Heterozygous Where alleles of a locus on homologous chromosomes are different
Hemizygous A genetic locus present in one copy only. Of females, in reference to the only one allele at each locus on the single Z chromosome (only one allele possible, as only one Z chromosome in females, therefore not heterozygous or homozygous as no chromosome pair).
Linkage Map Unit, (centiMorgan) 1 map unit, or 1 centiMorgan (cM) is equal to 1% recombination
Inheritance Mode Types:
Dominant: Of genes; producing the same phenotype whether its allele is identical or dissimilar
Recessive: Of genes; producing its characteristic phenotype only when its allele is identical
Incompletely dominant/recessive: When heterozygous, giving an intermediate phenotype
Co-dominant: When heterozygous, expressing both alleles
Sex-linked dominant/recessive: Of genes; on the Z chromosome
Linkages: Where loci do not segregate independently
Sex-Limited: Where both genders carrying the gene, but gene expression is with one gender only (eg, egg-shell colour can only be expressed in hens)
Sex-Influenced: Where a gene may appear dominant with one gender, recessive in another, ie gene expression is different between genders when alleles heterozygous
Autosomal: Any chromosome that is not a sex chromosome; appear in pairs in body cells
Others:
Pleiotrophy: Multiple traits expressed by a single gene
Polygenic trait: Multiple genes giving accumulative effect on trait expression
Epistasis Gene expression affected by a gene from another locus
Hypostasis: The converse of epistasis, applied to the gene pair hidden by the epistatic gene pair
Penetrance: The proportion of individuals of a specified genotype that express the expected phenotype
Expressivity: The range of phenotypes expressed by a given genotype
Homologous Chromosomes: Corresponding or similar in position
Multiple Alleles : Where more than one mutation has occurred on a specific locus
Diploid: An organism or cell having two sets of chromosomes
Pheomelanin: Pigments that account for wild type red colour
Eumelanin: Pigments that account for wild type black colour
And here is a table of colors

WOW that's a mouthful! Thanks a lot for that. I'm sending you a PM.
