Inheritance

Question 1

Genotype

Answer 1

Is an organisms full genetic makeup, all different alleles has for genes

Question 2

Phenotype

Answer 2

Is an organisms observable characteristics, the expression is determined by the environmental interactions of that organism

Question 3

Homozygous

Answer 3

A pair of homologous chromosomes which carry same allele for a single gene

Question 4

Hetrozygous

Answer 4

A pair of homologous chromosomes which carry different alleles for a single gene

Question 5

Recessive allele

Answer 5

An allele which will not be expressed if a dominant allele is present

Question 6

Dominant allele

Answer 6

An allele which is always expressed as a phenotype when present

Question 7

Monohybrid

Answer 7

Genetic inheritance cross of characteristics determined by one gene

Question 8

Dihybrid

Answer 8

Genetic Inheritance cross of characteristics determined by multiple genes

Question 9

What are the five types of inheritance

Answer 9

Co dominant, sex linkage, multiple alleles, autosomal linkage, epistatis

Question 10

Codominant

Answer 10

Is where 2 alleles are equally as dominant, so are both expressed as phenotype

Question 11

Multiple Alleles

Answer 11

Where more than 2 alleles for a single gene

Question 12

Sex Linkage

Answer 12

Locus is on X chromosome only

Question 13

Epistatis

Answer 13

When one gene modifies, masks the expression of another gene at a different locus

Question 14

Autosomal Linkage

Answer 14

Genes located on the same chromosome
