| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is Dominance Allele? | Masks the recessive gene if it's heterozygous |
| What is carrier? | An individual that carries 1 gene for a particular recessive trait. It express the trait but,when mated with another, can produce offspring that do. |
| What is Nondisjunction | Error in meiosis in which homologous chromosomes can't separate. |
| What is variation? | A difference or deviation in structure or character from others of the same species or group |
| What is incomplete dominance? | Both alleles of a heterozygote influence the phenotype, like an allele. |
| What 2 chromosmes do males have? | X chromosome and Y chromosome |
| What 2 chromosomes do females have? | X chromosomes |
| What are the genetic disorders of recessive alleles? | Albinism, Cystic fibrosis, and Tay-Stachs disease |
| What are the genetic disorders caused by dominant alleles? | (Dwarfism) Achondroplasia, (Nervous system disorder) Huntington's Disease, and (Excess Chloestrol in blood) Hypercholesterolemia |
