Inheritance

Question 1

Gentoype

Answer 1

Genetic charateristic

Question 2

Phenotype

Answer 2

Physical characteristic

Question 3

Homozygous

Answer 3

Pair of homologous chromosomes with same alleles for a gene

Question 4

Hetreozygous

Answer 4

Pair of homologous chromosomes with 2 different alleles for a gene

Question 5

Recessive

Answer 5

Only expressed without dominant allele

Question 6

Dominant

Answer 6

Always expressed

Question 7

Co dominant

Answer 7

Both alleles expressed

Question 8

Multiple alleles

Answer 8

More than 2 alleles for 1 gene

Question 9

Sex linkage

Answer 9

Gene that’s locus is on the X chromosome

Question 10

Autosomal linkage

Answer 10

Genes located on the same chromosome

Question 11

Epistasis

Answer 11

One gene affects the expression of another gene

Question 12

Monohybrid

Answer 12

Cross determined by 1 gene

Question 13

Dihybrid

Answer 13

Cross determined by 2 genes

Question 14

Crossing over

Answer 14

Occurs in homologous chromosomes

Swap alleles located on the same locus

Question 15

Autosomal linkage

Answer 15

2 genes found on the same chromosome
Genes are linked and inherited together
Example: all gametes must either be RY or ry
So dihybrid of RrYy x RrYy goes from 9:3:3:1 to 3:1
