Heredity Flashcards
When the genotype of a person does not have the same alleles
heterozygous
Genotype of males?
XY
the passing of traits from parents to offspring
heredity
one set of instructions for an inherited trait
gene
plant Mendel studied
pea plant
this part has both male and female reproductive parts
self pollinating plant
this is used to organize all possible combinations of offspring from particular parents
punnett square
likely hood that a possible future event will occur in any given instance of the evidence
probability
and organisms appearance another detectible characteristics
phenotype
this is the type of pollination Mendel used in his second pea plant experiment
self pollination
this is where one trait is not completely dominant over another, traits do not blend together, each allele has its own degrees of influence
incomplete dominance
different forms of a gene
allele
both inherited alleles from organisms
genotype
chromosomes that have the same sequence of genes and same structure
homologous chromosomes
number of sex chromosomes
23
