4. Which is the definition for polygenic inheritance?

• This is when an organism is heterozygous for a trait and displays an intermediate phenotype that is a mix of the two homozygous phenotypes.
• This is when there are more than two alleles for a gene.
• This is when two alleles are present and they are both simultaneously expressed.
• This is when many genes interact to influence a characteristic.

5. Which is the definition for codominance?

• This is when an organism is heterozygous for a trait and displays an intermediate phenotype that is a mix of the two homozygous phenotypes.
• This is when there are more than two alleles for a gene.
• This is when two alleles are present and they are both simultaneously expressed.
• This is when many genes interact to influence a characteristic.

6. Which is the definition for multiple alleles?
