Mendelian and Non- Mendelian Genetics

What is a phenotype?

• The expression of a trait; physical appearance.
• 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

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

An allele whose trait only shows up when no dominant allele is present.

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

the passing of genetic traits from parent to offspring.
