In addition to genetics, this will also determine phenotype for many traits
the environment
You are looking at a pedigree and you see that a trait skips a generation and is mostly inherited by males. It is most likely inherited as a
Sex linked trait
You are looking at a pedigree and you see that a trait skips a generation. It can be seen in both males and females. It is most likely inherited as a
Recessive
You are looking at a pedigree and you see that a trait does not skip a generation and can be found in all generations. It is most likely inherited as a
Dominant
When neither alleles is dominant so a blending of the two occurs as a third phenotype
Incomplete Dominance
A failure for chromosomes to separate appropriately during meiosis leading to too many or too few chromosomes in a sex cell
Non-disjunction
Karyotypes are used to diagnose
Chromosomal Abnormalities (Genetic Disorders)
In humans, chromosome pairs 1-22 are called
Autosomes
When a parent has an allele for a trait and can give it to their children but they are unaffected, we call them _________ .
Carriers
