  • When one allele is not dominant over the other, resulting in both traits expressed in a heterozygous individual
    Co-dominant
  •  15
  • A red flowered plant was crossed with a white flowered on. Their species shows incomplete dominance for this trait. What color will the offspring's flowers be?
    Pink
  •  15
  • A red flowered plant was crossed with a white flowered on. Their species shows co-dominance for this trait. What color will the offspring's flowers be?
    Red and white (bicolored)
  •  15
  • This leads to a "blended" phenotype
    Incomplete Dominance
  •  15
  • A, B, O blood type is a example of this
    Multiple Alleles
  •  15
  • Someone who has AB+ or - blood type is an example of this
    Co-dominance
  •  15
  • A single trait that has 3 or more alternative forms. These are called
    Multiple alleles
  •  15
  • General genetics terms that refers to what you see, or the physical appearance of an organism
    Phenotype
  •  15
  • The gene combinations such as heterozygous, or Aa are called
    Genotype
  •  15
  • This is when a trait is controlled by more than one PAIRS of genes
    Polygenic trait
  •  15
  • Typically when graphed, the frequency of these types of traits show a bell shaped curve
    Polygenic Trait
  •  15
  • Human hair, eye, and skin color are all examples of
    Polygenic traits
  •  15
  • If a gene is found only on the X chromosome and not the Y chromosome, it is said to be what?
    Sex linked Trait
  •  15
  • Certain types of color-blindness are more common in males than in females because they are inherited in this pattern
    Sex-linked
  •  15
  • In terms of chromosomes, females receive this combination
    XX
  •  15
  • Males are more likely to inherit a sex linked trait due to the fact that they have only one __________ chromosome
    X
