Front

A cross of two different genes (ex: hair color and eye color)

Back

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

Front

One allele does not express dominance over the other (Traits will mix to form third new trait)

Back

Incomplete dominance

Front

Both alleles contribute to the phenotype (Traits will show themselves simultaneously and separately – blood type AB)

Back

Front

Traits controlled by 2 or more genes – eye color

Back
