NGSS.HS-LS3-1

A gene that may cause the 'masking' of another gene.  Example:  Labrador Retrievers, Squash, and Mice coloration.

• Epistasis Inheritance
• Co-Dominance
• Complete Dominance
• Incomplete Dominance

Type of Dominance in which neither of TWO alleles are dominance.  A new 'third' trait will form if both alleles are inherited.

• Epistasis Inheritance
• Co-Dominance
• Complete Dominance
• Incomplete Dominance

Type of Trait that is carried on the X or Y Chromosomes.

• Sex Linked Trait
• Co-Dominance
• Complete Dominance
• Incomplete Dominance

Type of Dominance in which one trait will 'suppress' the expression of another gene.

• Sex Linked Trait
• Co-Dominance
• Complete Dominance
• Incomplete Dominance

Type of Dominance in which Two traits seem to both be dominant.  Two forms of the gene are inherited the offspring will show characteristics of BOTH genes.

• Sex Linked Trait
• Co-Dominance
• Complete Dominance
• Incomplete Dominance

Type of Trait that is controlled by MANY genes at once. Many Genes will 'contribute' to one phenotype.

• Multiple Allele Trait
• Polygenic Trait
• Monogenic Trait
• Co-Dominant Trait
