Non-Mendelian Genetics

The gene combinations such as heterozygous, or Aa are called

When one allele is not dominant over the other, resulting in both traits expressed in a heterozygous individual

This pattern of inheritance is demonstrated when a gene from one locus can prevent the full expression of another gene at a different locus.

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?

Typically when graphed, the frequency of these types of traits show a bell shaped curve

A single trait that has 3 or more alternative forms. These are called

3/4 orange tabby cats are male. This is because the gene for this trait are found on the _______________ .

Males are more likely to inherit a sex linked trait due to the fact that they have only one __________ chromosome

True or False: Men can NEVER be "carriers" for recessive sex-linked traits because they only have one X chromosome.

This is the chromosome that carries the male genetic traits

This leads to a "blended" phenotype

This is when a trait is controlled by more than one PAIRS of genes

In terms of chromosomes, females receive this combination

T/F: Some traits can be due to a combination of inheritance patterns

General genetics terms that refers to what you see, or the physical appearance of an organism

Genetics is just one contributing factor to phenotype, another important factor is

Certain types of color-blindness are more common in males than in females because they are inherited in this pattern

Human hair, eye, and skin color are all examples of

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?

A, B, O blood type is a example of this

If a gene is found only on the X chromosome and not the Y chromosome, it is said to be what?

Someone who has AB+ or - blood type is an example of this
