What is the definition of Homozygous?

• When one allele is dominant and one is recessive
• When an individual has two sets of the same allele.
• when it is neither dominant or recessive

what is the definition of Heterozygous? 

• when an individual has two sets of the same allele
• when it is neither dominant or recessive
• A pair of genes where one is dominant and one is recessive.

The genotype is the ______________.

• physical appearance
• Genetic makeup
• Alleles gained from one parent

The phenotype is the _______________.

• physical appearance of an organism
• Genetic makeup 
• Alleles acquired from a specific parent.

The Law of Segregation is when two alleles for a heritable character segregate (separate) during gamete formation and end up on the 

• same gametes
• different gametes

• hidden allele
• dominant allele
• recessive allele
• present allele

Sickle cell anemia is a disorder carried on the X chromosome.  What type of inheritance pattern does it follow?

• codominance
• sex-linked inheritance
• multiple allele inheritance
• incomplete dominance

The range of human skin colors is caused by a variety of genes, each of which has at least 2 alleles.  This is an example of:

• incomplete dominance
• codominance
• multiple alleles
• polygenic inheritance
