What is Incomplete Dominance?

Back

A type of inheritance where the phenotype of heterozygotes is intermediate between the phenotypes of the two homozygotes.

Front

What percentage of chromosomes does each puppy share with its mother?

Back

50%.

Front

What is the difference between phenotype and genotype?

Back

Phenotype is the observable traits of an organism, while genotype is the genetic makeup.

Front

What is the genotype of a heterozygous yellow pea plant?

Back

Yy.

Front

What is the probability of having a color-blind child if one parent is a carrier and the other is normal vision?

Back

1/4.

Front

Define Codominance.

Back

A type of inheritance where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed, resulting in a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive.

Front

What is the definition of Polygenic Inheritance?

Back

A type of inheritance where multiple genes influence a trait, resulting in a continuous range of phenotypes.

Front

What does it mean for a trait to be recessive?

Back

A trait that is only expressed in the phenotype when two recessive alleles are present.

Front

What is a carrier in genetics?

Back

An individual who has one copy of a recessive allele that does not manifest in their phenotype.

Front

What is the significance of the Punnett square in genetics?

Back

A tool used to predict the genotypes and phenotypes of offspring from parental crosses.
