✅
acquired- a trait of an organism’s depending on the environment, not
inherited and cannot be passed on
✅
allele- one version of a gene found at a specific location on a
chromosome
autosomal- ✅refers to genes from non-sex chromosomes 1-22
✅
carrier- person with recessive allele masked by dominant allele
(heterozygous person)
✅specific trait of an organism (e.g., eye colour)
characteristic-
chromosome-✅structures comprised of protein and single dna molecule,
carries genetic information
co-dominance- ✅2 alleles that are equally dominant
continuous-✅variation shown by range of values, can be measured
discontinuous-✅variation shown with categories
diploid-✅complete set of chromosomes (46)
dominant-✅allele that is always expressed
gene-✅unit of inheritance, section of dna coding for specific polypeptide
genotype-✅full set of genes in an organism/genes they have
heterozygous-✅2 different alleles of a specific gene
homozygous-✅2 identical alleles of a gene
