AP Bio Ch 12 Chromosome & Genes
In chapter 12 of the AP Biology class we got to cover chromosomes and genes in the human body. A chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes. Take up the quiz below on this chapter and remind yourself on what we covered before the assessment test coming up next week.

Incomplete dominance.
- C.
Epistasis.

Pleiotropy.
- E.
Polygenic inheritance.
- 2.A classical example of multiple alleles is
