inheritance Flashcards
1
Q
What is incomplete dominance?
A
Where two genes are crossed to display a blended phenotype
2
Q
what is an allele
A
Different versions of genes
3
Q
what is monohybrid inheritance?
A
passing down a sin gle characteristic controlled by a single gene
4
Q
what does recessive mean
A
A gene less likely to be expressed in the phenotype and need 2 recessive alleles to be displayed
5
Q
What does dominant mean?
A
A gene that will be displayed in the phenotype no matter what other alleles are present
6
Q
what does codominance mean
A
Where both alleles are expressed in the phenotype e.g a white and red cow crossed create a roan cow- containing both red and white hair
7

displayed characteristics based on alleles
characteristics based on environmental factors
