AutosomaI and X-linked inheritance

Question 1

what does autosomal inheritance mean?

Answer 1

Gene is located on one of the autosomes
male and females are equally likely to inherit the gene

Question 2

what is autosomal dominance?

Answer 2

Inheriting a single copy of the gene variant is enough to cause a condition

Question 3

what is autosomal recessive inheritance?

Answer 3

The child needs to inherit two copies of the gene to have a certain condition

Question 4

what is nonmendelian inheritance?

Answer 4

Any inheritance pattern that fails to follow one or move laws of mendelian genetics
-sex linked traits
-codominance
-multiple alleles

Question 5

what is a sex-linked trait?

Answer 5

Trait in which a gene is located on a sex chromosome

mostly X-linked traits as it is longer than Y-chromosome

Question 6

What is codominance inheritance?

Answer 6

Both alleles are dominant and the individual expresses both traits simultaneously in a patchwork arrangement

Question 8

In incomplete dominance, how does the individual display the traits?

Answer 8

Individual blends the two traits
E.g- white flower + red flower = pink flower
