Heredity dallas
| Question | Answer | Question | Answer | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dominant | producing the same phenotype whether its allele is identical or dissimilar | Incomplete dominance | •In genetics, dominance describes the effects of the different versions of a particular gene on the phenotype | ||
| Recessive | an allele that produces its characteristic phenotype only when its paired allele is identical | Polygenetic inheritance | Inheritance of quantitative traits or polygenic inheritance refers to the inheritance of a phenotypic characteristic | ||
| Punnett square | tool used to help predict the results of genetic crosses | Sex-linked gene | •is a gene that is located on either of the sex chromosomes (X or Y | ||
| Heredity | the biological process whereby genetic factors are transmitted from one generation to the next | Genotype | •a group of organisms sharing a specific genetic constitution | Genetic engineering | •the technology of preparing recombinant DNA in vitro by cutting up DNA molecules and splicing together fragments from more than one organism |
| Alleles | either of a pair (or series) of alternative forms of a gene that can occupy the same locus on a particular chromosome and that control the same character) | Phenotype | •what an organism looks like as a consequence of the interaction of its genotype and the environment | ||
| Genetics | •the branch of biology that studies heredity and variation in organisms | Homozygous | In genetics, an individual is homozygous for a trait if both genes from both parents are the same. An individual is heterozygous if the genes are different. | ||
| Hybrid | interbreeding between two animals or plants | Heterozygous | •In genetics, an individual is homozygous for a trait if both genes from both parents are the same. An individual is heterozygous if the genes are different |
