Chapter 2.6 ~ Genetic Inheritance

Question 1

Phenotype

Answer 1

Phenotypes are our physical genetics that can be seen, determined by our genotypes and our environment

Question 2

Dominant

Answer 2

A trait that only needs one allele to become present in someone, masking the recessive allele that may be present

Question 3

Recessive

Answer 3

Recessive refers to a trait that will be passed down through generations that will be masked by a dominant trait

Question 4

Homozygous

Answer 4

Homozygous means a characteristic that has the same two allele genotypes ~ AA

Question 5

Heterozygous

Answer 5

Heterozygous means a characteristic that has two different allele genotypes ~ Aa

Question 6

Alleles

Answer 6

Alleles are the forms of a gene in a characteristic

Question 7

Complete Dominace

Answer 7

When a dominant gene causes the recessive gene to be masked

~ B + b = Bb

Question 8

Incomplete Dominance

Answer 8

When two dominant traits combine causing the mixture of the two genes
~ Red + White = Pink

Question 9

Co-Dominance

Answer 9

When the two dominant genes mix resulting in two outcomes

~ Black + White = Black-White

Question 10

Partial Dominance

Answer 10

When the offspring of an animal presents a phenotype that is different from one/ both of its parents
~ co-dominance and complete dominance
