Non-Mendelian and Mendelian Genetics Flashcard

Front

Having two of the SAME alleles for a trait (example HH or hh):

Back

homozygous

Front

What is the cause of some traits "skipping" a generation?

Back

recessive traits

Front

An allele whose trait only shows up when no dominant allele is present.

Back

recessive allele

Front

This type of inheritance pattern is a MIXTURE of both traits, like the old theory of blending.

Back

incomplete dominance

Front

This type of inheritance pattern shows BOTH traits in possible offspring: complete dominance, incomplete dominance, co-dominance, Indomitable

Back

co-dominance

Front

When two or more alleles for a trait exist in a population.  Ex: Different hair colors or blood types

Back

Multiple Alleles

Front

An organism's genetic make-up, like having a TT or Tt allele:

Back

genotype

Front

In this Punnett Square, bb is crossed with BB. What is the probability of a resulting Bb? Options: 0%, 25%, 50%, 100%

Back

100%

Front

Having two different alleles for a trait (example Hh):

Back

heterozygous

Front

Which of the following is a phenotype? Options: Aa, red hair, heterozygous, BB

Back

red hair
