| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Sex-Linkage | Traits that are found on the X chromosome, found commonly in males. |
| Multiple Alleles | A trait that has more than two forms of a gene, or alleles |
| Sex-influenced | A trait that is expressed differently, in males and females, as for example, male-pattern baldness. |
| Incomplete Dominance | An active or dominant allele is not strong enough to cancel out the recessive allele so a new phenotype is made. Ex. Red+white=Pink |
| Co-dominance | Both alleles are equally expressed. Ex. AB blood type |
| Sickle-Cell | Causes irregular red blood cells, which carry less oxygen. Caused by a point mutation, recessive. |
| Huntington's Disease | Causes damage to your nervous system, no symtoms until your 30's or 40's. |
