Question Answer
AutosomeIn humans, chromosomes 1-22. Matching pairs of chromosomes.
carrierA heterozygous individual who appears normal, but genotypically possesses a recessive gene for a potentially harmful gene.
codominant allelesEqual expression causes the phenotypes of both homozygous parent organisms to be produced in the heterozygous offspring.
hybridOffspring produced when two varieties or closely related individuals are mated;often done to increase size or vigor.
inbreedingMating between closely related individuals to produce pure results;however it sometimes can have undesirable results.
incomplete dominancethe inheritance pattern in which the phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate to the two homozygous parents. Neither allele is strong enough to mask the other, so they combine.
multiple allelesSome organisms such as flowers or rabbits can come in many different colors.The genetic trait for color is said to have this.
pedigreeA family tree; A graphic representation showing patterns of inheritance in a family or breeding group.
polygenic inheritanceA trait such as skin color which is affected by the combination of several different genes.
sex chromosomeIn humans, Chromosome pair 23.;XX or XY
sex-linked traitAn inherited characteristic, such as color blindness, controlled by genes located on chromosomes 23.
