Genetics Vocab Set 2 (Phy Sci)

A form of inheritance where both alleles are equally expressed in the phenotype.

(Examples: Type AB blood and Red & White Flower)

• dominant

• recessive

• codominant

• incomplete dominance

The passing of genetic traits is passed from parents to offspring through DNA.

(Example: sickle cell anemia)

• inheritance

• development

• homeostasis

• codominance
