| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Independent Assortment | Independent segregation of genes during the formation of gametes Incomplete Dominance |
| Incomplete Dominance | situation in which one allele is not completely dominat over another Codominance |
| Codominance | situation in which both alleles of a gene contribute to the phenotype of the organism multiple alleles |
| multiple alleles | three or more alleles of the same gene polygenic traits |
| polygenic traits | trait controlled by two or more genes homologous |
| homologous | term used to refer to chromosomes that each have a corresponding chromosome from the opposite-sex parent diploid |
| diploid | term used to refer to a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes haploid |
| haploid | term used to refer to a cell that contains only a single set of chromosomes and therefore only a single set of genes meiosis |
| meiosis | process by which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the seperation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell tetrad |
| tetrad | struture containing 4 chromatids that form during meiosis crossing-over |
| crossing-over | process in homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis gene map |
| gene map | diagram showing the relative locations of each known gene on a particular chromosome Independent Assortment |
