FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Codominance?

Back

Codominance is a genetic scenario where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed, resulting in a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Give an example of Codominance.

Back

An example of codominance is the AB blood type, where both A and B alleles are expressed equally.

What is a Pedigree?

Back

A pedigree is a diagram that shows the occurrence and appearance of phenotypes of a particular gene or organism and its ancestors.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the purpose of using Pedigrees?

Back

Pedigrees are used to track traits in families and to make determinations about the inheritance of genetic conditions.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the probability of a child having type O blood if both parents have type AB blood?

Back

0% - Type O blood requires two O alleles, which cannot be produced by two AB parents.
