Alleles - ANSWER ✔✔ variant forms of genes
An individual carries two genes for a given character
Variant forms of genes are known as - ANSWER ✔✔ alleles
Mendel's Law of Segregation - ANSWER ✔✔ two alleles segregate during the process that gives
rise to gametes, so every gamete receives only one allele
Genotype - ANSWER ✔✔ genetic makeup of an organism
Phenotype - ANSWER ✔✔ description of the traits an organism displays
Inheritance pattern - ANSWER ✔✔ Pair of alleles -located on an autosome-(w/ a
dominant/recessive relationship) determines pattern of traits
Simple Mendelian Inheritance pattern - ANSWER ✔✔ pattern of traits = determined by pair of
alleles that have dominant/recessive relationship.
Presence of a dominant allele masks the recessive allele
X linked inheritance - ANSWER ✔✔ type of mendelian inheritance pattern
Pattern of traits determined by genes on the x chromosome that display a dominant/recessive
relationship
X linked inheritance traits occur more frequently
Incomplete dominance - ANSWER ✔✔ type of mendelian inheritance pattern
When the heterozygote has a phenotype intermediate to the. Phenotype of the homozygotes
Ex: cross btw red & white flowers produces pink offspring
Codominance - ANSWER ✔✔ mendelian inheritance pattern
Occurs when the heterozygote expresses both alleles simultaneously
