Chapter 6 Complex Patterns of Inheritance (Defs.) Flashcards
1
Q
A condition in which neither allele for a gene completely conceals the presence of the other; it results in intermediate expression of a trait.
A
Incomplete dominance
2
Q
The condition in which both alleles for a trait are equally expressed in a heterozygote; both alleles are dominant.
A
Codominance
3
Q
A survival benefit for individuals who inherit two different alleles for the same trait.
A
Heterozygous advantage
4
Q
A range of variation in one trait resulting from the activity of many genes.
A
Continuous varitation
4
Q
A trait that is controlled by more than one gene.
A
