Genetics

What does heterozygous mean?

• An organism that has the same genes for a trait (TT or tt)
• An organism that has different genes for a trait (Tt)
• When neither gene is fully dominant; offspring is a mixture of both
• the different forms of a trait (hair color--> brown, blonde, red

If T=Tall & t=short, what is the genotypic ratio?

• 1:3
• 3:1
• 1:2:1
• 2:2

Incomplete dominance means that the traits are

• expressed equally
• dominant
• recessive
• blended

What is a phenotype?

• The expression of a trait; what you see.
• refers to the genetic makeup of an individual
• An organism that has the same genes for a trait (ex. TT or tt)
• the passing of traits from parent to offspring
