| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A heterozygote’s phenotype is intermediate to those of homozygotes. | Incomplete dominance |
| A phenotypic trait is determined by the additive expression of multiple genes. | Polygenic inheritance |
| A heterozygote expresses both phenotypes encoded by the two alleles. | Codominance |
| A homozygote of this type of gene dies in utero. | Lethal |
| The presence of multiple phenotypes within a population. | Polymorphism |
| When a single gene determines multiple phenotypic traits . | Pleiotropy |
| When two genes combine to determine a single phenotype. | Gene interactions |
| When one gene suppresses the expression of a different gene. | Epistasis |
| This pertains to the DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts. | Non-nuclear inheritance |
| This refers to the frequency of gene expression within a population. | Penetrance |
| This refers to the degree to which a gene is expressed, when it is expressed. | Expressivity |
