Q

Alleles

A

One of the two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation

16
Q

Homozygous

A

Two identical jeans at the corresponding Loki of homologous chromosomes

17
Q

Heterozygous

A

Two or more different versions of alleles at least one of its jeans

18
Q

Dominant traits

A

Treat that results from the expression of the dominant allele

19
Q

Recessive trait

A

Trait that result from the expression up to recessive allele’s

20
Q

Genotype

A

Genetic makeup of an individual organism

21
Q

Phenotype

A

Characteristics of an individual

22
Q

Codominance

A

Two alleles equally expressed

Example: check her chickens

23
Q

Incomplete dominance

A

Mixing a blending of two phenotypes

Sample: read flour and white flower let you to make pink flower

24
Q

Multiple alleles

A

When more than two allele forms are present in the population
Example: blood type

25
Q

Pleoitrophy

A

When one allele has multiple effects

Example sickle cell and Coloration slashed cross side of Siamese cats

26
Q

Epistasis

A

A gene
at one locus affects/alters the phenotype expression of a gene add a second locus
Example: golden golden retrievers

27
Q

Polygenetic inheritance

A

Quantitive characteristics; edict of effect of 20 or more genes on a single phenotype
Sample: height and skin color

28
Q

Sex linked traits

A

Genes attached to the chromosome

Example hemophilia and color blindness

29
Q

What is a carrier

A

Individual that has one copy of a recessive allele and does not exhibit the trait

30
Q

Law of segregation

A

During the production of gametes the two copies of each hereditary factor segregates so that offspring acquire one factor from each parent
