The pattern of genetic transmission in which both genes and environment influence the phenotype.
Multifactorial Pattern Of Inheritance
term that simply means that the same gene may be expressed differently in two individuals who have it.
Expressivity
Term describing the genetic pattern when the two genes in the pair at any given genetic locus carry different instructions, such as a gene for blue eyes from one parent and a gene for brown eyes from the other parent.
Heterozygous
Term describing the genetic pattern when the two genes in the pair at any given genetic locus both carry the same instructions.
Homozygous
