4
Q
phenotype
A

5

Law of Segregation:
A
parent gives one allele during meiosis
6
Q
Law of Independent Assortment
A
Genes are passed on independently of each other
7
Q
incomplete dominance
A
offspring is a blend of both traits
8
Q
autosomes
A
chromosome pairs 1-22
9
Q
co dominance
A
both traits appear in phenotype
10
Q
carrier
A
contains the gene that can be passed on but isn’t affected by it
11
Q
linked genes
A
genes that are close together on the same chromosome and are usually inherited together
12
Q
Polygenic Traits:
A
Traits influenced by multiple genes (e.g., skin color, height).
