|---|---|
| used pea plants to figure out how traits are passed on | Gregor Mendel |
| some alleles are dominant, others recessive. | Principle of Dominance |
| alleles for each gene segregate during fertilization. each gamete has one allele for each trait | Principle of Segregation |
| genes for different traits do not affect one another | Principle of Independent Assortment |
| both forms of trait are dominant, both are expressed when heterozygous | codominance |
| heterozygous phenotype is blend of bot forms of trait | incomplete dominance |
| trait controlled by 2 or more genes | polygenic trait |
| more than 2 forms of gene | multiple alleles |
| internal and external variables that change the expressed phenotype | environmental effects |
