| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| identical alleles in a gene pair | homozygous |
| chromosomes that do not carry genes that determine sex | autosomes |
| variant form of nucleotide building block of a gene | alleles |
| The physical traits that appear in an individual as a result of its gentic make up. | phenotype |
| traits determined by more than one gene also influenced by environment | polygenic |
| complete set of genetic instructions for an organism | genome |
| single genetic disorder produce several symptoms a phenomenon | pleiotropy |
| the branch of biology that studies heredity and variation in organisms | genetics |
| born with wrong number of chromosomes plus an extra one | trisomy |
| patterns in which genes are transmitted in families, trait is dominate ore recessive, autosomal or carried on a sex chromosome | Modes of inheritance |
| different genes producing the same phenotype | genetic heterogeneity |
| looking at the human body, multiple, interacating genes | Genomics |
| allele whose expression is masked | recessive |
| all the other genes in the body that are not sex-linked. | autosomal |
| an allele that is a change from wild type producing uncommon phenotype | mutant |
| allele who action masks that of another allele | dominant |
| two different alleles for a gene | heterozygous |
| focuses on proteins that specific cell types produce | Proteomics |
| diagram showing family relationships, genotypes and phenotypes- circle female, square male | pedigree |
| a condition in which a trait in an individual is intermediate between the phenotype of the individual's two parents because the dominant allele is unable to express itself fully | incomplete dominance |
| different alleles that are both expressed in a heterozygote | codominate |
| particular combination of gene varients (alleles) in a genome | genotype |
| glimpses of gene function | gene expression profiling |
| drastic upset in chromosome number is an entire extra set | polyploidy |
