Genotypes and Phenotypes Flashcards
1
Q
genotype
A
combination of alleles for a gene
2
Q
homozygous
A
same genetic information
3
Q
heterozygous
A
different genetic information
4
Q
phenotype
A
the observable traits of an individual
5
Q
complete dominance
A
the dominant allele masks over the effect of the recessive allele
6
Q
recessive phenotype
A
an allele that doesn’t influence the phenotype is paired with the dominant allele
7
Q
dominant allele
A
determines the phenotype
8
Q
codominance
A
two alleles are expressed in the phenotype
9
Q
Incomplete Dominance
A
the phenotype is intermediate with the two alleles when heterozygous
10
Q
sex linked inheritance
A
genes carried on the x chromosome
11
Q
influences on phenotypes
A
diet
temperature
