Chapter 9 Flashcards: Genes and inheritance

Hint alternative forms of a gene that are inherited from parents alleles
Hint the observable expression of an organism's genotype (also called "trait") phenotype
Hint homo same (homosexual: attracted to same sex) [prefix]
Hint hetero different (heterosexual: attracted to members opposite sex) [prefix]
Hint genotype of an individual who has two copies of the same allele for a given trait homozygous
Hint genotype of an individual who has different alleles for a given trait heterozygous
Hint the allele that determines the phenotype of a heterozygote dominant
Hint the heterozygote phenotype is intermediate between those of the homozygotes incomplete dominance
Hint both alleles contribute expression to the phenotype codominance
