Probability And Statistics Flashcards
of or pertaining to two different alleles that are fully expressed in a heterozygous individual. Results in a phenotype that is neither dominant or recessive
Codominance
hybridization using two traits with two alleles each.
Dihybrid cross
a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely dominant over the other allele. This results in a combined phenotype.
Incomplete dominance
hybridization using a single trait with two alleles (as in Mendel’s experiments with garden peas).
Monohybrid cross
Any of a set of three or more alleles, or alternative states of a gene, only two of which can be present in a diploid organism.
Multiple alleles
Inheritance of quantitative traits or polygenic inheritance refers to the inheritance of a phenotypic characteristic
Polygenetic traits
The extent to which something is probable.
Probability
a diagram that is used to predict an outcome of a particular cross or breeding experiment.
Punnett square
the phenotypic expression of an allele related to the chromosomal sex of the individual.
Sexlinked traits
