Non-Mendelian Genetics

This leads to a "blended" phenotype

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

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

The gene combinations such as heterozygous, or Aa are called

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

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

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

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?

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

This is the chromosome that carries the male genetic traits

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

In terms of chromosomes, females receive this combination

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

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

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