allele
|
an alternative form of a geneOccur at the same locus (or position) on homologous chromosomes.
|
|
| 3 |
recessive
|
an allele whose effect is masked in the
presence of another different allele
|
|
| 4 |
dominant
|
an allele that masks the effects of another
|
|
| 5 |
principle of independent assortment
|
genes controlling different traits are inherited independently of one another (true...

Types of Chromosomes
|
1) Sex chromosomes2) Autosomes-- govern all physical characteristics except sex determination

Homozygous
|
Having the same allele at the same locus on both members of a chromosome pair

Several seemingly-unrelated phenotypic traits that are influenced by the actions of a single...
|
|
| 20 |
Codominance
|
the expression of 2 alleles in heterozygotes: neither is dominant or recessive, so both influence...
