🗑
A gene that is carried on the X or the Y Chromosome   Sex-linked gene  
🗑
A person who carries a recessive gene for a trait, but does not show the trait   Carrier  
🗑
When two different alleles are present, and both traits occur together   Codominance  
🗑
If you have an allele for type A blood, and an allele for type o blood, what blood type will you have?   Type A  
🗑
If you have an allele for type B blood, and an allele for type A blood, what blood type will you have?   Type AB

🗑
What else, other than genetics, can determine a person’s characteristics?   The environment that someone lives in can determine how certain characteristics develop  
🗑
An abnormal characteristic that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes   Genetic Disorder  
🗑
A chart that tracks which family members have a particular trait   Pedigree
