__________________: Allele pairs separate during gamete formation, so each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.
Law of Independent Assortment
Polygenic Alleles
Law of Segregation
___________________: Each allele pair segregates randomly to the haploid gametes in meiosis, so which allele a gamete receives for one gene is not affected by which allele the gamete receives for another gene.
Sex-linked Genes
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
__________________: A form of inheritance where neither allele is dominant, resulting in a phenotype that is an intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes
Sex-linked Genes
Codominance
Incomplete Dominance
__________________: Genes found on sex chromosomes. In class, we discussed that some of these genes are only on the X chromosome.
Sex-linked Genes
Codominance
Incomplete Dominance
_________________: A form of inheritance where both alleles are separately and equally expressed in a heterozygous individual.
Codominance
Incomplete Dominance
Sex-linked Genes
___________________: A form of inheritance that occurs when one characteristic is controlled by more than one gene.
Allele
Heterozygous
Polygenic Alleles
____________________: The physical expression of a gene or set of genes; the appearance of an organism.
Genotype
Phenotype
Allele
_________________: A condition where an individual possesses two different alleles of the same gene.
Heterozygous
Homozygous
Genotype
___________________: The genetic makeup of an organism that are generally represented by letters.
Phenotype
Homozygous
Genotype
_________________: A condition where an individual possesses two copies of the same allele.
Phenotype
Heterozygous
Homozygous
_________________: A single, distinct version of a gene
