| Locus Heterogeneity (polygenic traits) | similar phenotypes produced by mutations at different gene loci
🗑
|
||||
| Multifactorial traits | characteristics controlled by multiple factors, both genetic and environmental
🗑

||||
| mitochondrial traits | determined by mitochondrial genes (maternal inheritance)
🗑
|
||||
| anticipation | a mutant phenotype that increases in severity each generation due to trinucleotide repeat expansion
🗑
|
||||
| epigenic imprinting | a mutant genotype with a different phenotype depending on context (for instance, the sex of the patient)
🗑
|
||||
| X-linked recessive | a recessive allele carried by the X chromosome, mostly affecting males, never passed from father to son
🗑
|
||||
| X-linked dominant | a dominant allele carried by the X chromosome, affecting females twice as often as males, never passed from fater to son
🗑
|
||||
| Sex-influenced traits | genetic traits whose clinical manifestations or severity are influenced by the sex of the affected individual
🗑
|
||||
| Sex-limited traits | traits restricted to one sex, although genotype can be present in either sex
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
