What is a recessive sex-linked trait?

Back

A recessive sex-linked trait is a trait that is associated with a gene located on the sex chromosomes, typically the X chromosome, and is expressed in males who have only one copy of the allele.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is incomplete dominance?

Back

Incomplete dominance is a form of inheritance where the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is codominance?

Back

Codominance is a form of inheritance where both alleles in a heterozygote are fully expressed, resulting in a phenotype that shows both traits.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is polygenic inheritance?

Back

Polygenic inheritance is a type of inheritance where multiple genes influence a single phenotype, leading to a range of traits.
