Gene

having different alleles at a given gene locus AB
Dominant

Recessive
trait that does not express itself in the presence of a dominant allele
Codominant
both alleles expressed
Amorph
lack of expression
Cis
genes found on same chromosome
Trans
genes found on opposite chromosome
Genotype
what is actually on gene (AO)
Phenotype
the observable expression of trait (A)
Dosage
when there is more antigen expressed with homozygous alleles than heterozygous
