New combination of genes produced by crossing over and independent assortment.

• polyploidy

• genetic recombination

• inbreeding

• selective breeding

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Having one or more extra sets of all chromosomes, which, in polyploid plants, can often result in greater size and better growth and survival.

• selective breeding

• test cross

• inbreeding

• polyploidy

Directed breeding to produce plants and animals with desired traits.

• carrier

• selective breeding

• inbreeding

• test cross

Selective breeding of closely related organisms to produce desired traits and eliminate undesired traits, resulting in pure lines—however, harmful recessive traits can also be passed on.

• inbreeding

• selective breeding

• pedigree

• carrier

Breeding that can be used to determine an organism’s genotype.

• codominance

• carrier

• pedigree

• test cross

Individual heterozygous for a recessive disorder such as cystic fibrosis or Tay-Sachs disease.

• multiple alleles

• carrier

• pedigree

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

diagrammed family history that is used to study inheritance patterns of a trait through several generations and that can be used to predict disorders in future offspring.

• epistasis

• pedigree

• carrier

• codominance

Complex inheritance pattern in which the heterozygous phenotype is intermediate between those of the two homozygous parent organisms.

• sex-linked trait

• multiple alleles

• incomplete dominance

• codominance

Complex inheritance pattern that occurs when neither allele is dominant and both alleles are expressed.

• codominance

• epistasis

• polygenic trait

• carrier

Having more than two alleles for a specific trait.

• codominance

• sex-linked trait

• polygenic trait

• multiple alleles
