New cards
2

Codominance

________: This is where both alleles are EQUALLY EXPRESSED.

New cards
3

Peas

________ were good because they were simple, had clear variation, a short generation time and produced many offspring.

New cards
4

Quantitative Characters

________: traits that are not A or B, rather they exist as a gradient.

New cards
5

Monohybrid

________: organisms that are heterozygous for ONE trait.

New cards
6

Dihybrid

________: organisms that are heterozygous for TWO traits.

New cards

Alleles

________ arise from slight differences in the nucleotide sequences at a locus.

New cards
8

Mendel

________ crossed for many generations and used large sample sizes.

New cards
9

Genotypes

What are most commonly associated with a range of phenotypes, not typically a single phenotype? Answer with a single words or term.

New cards
10

Inheritance patterns

________ are often more complex than predicted by simple Mendelian genetics.

New cards
11

Polygenic Inheritance

________: multiple genes independently affect a single trait.

New cards
12

Probability laws

________ govern Mendelian inheritance.

New cards
13

Law of Segregation

New cards
14

Mendel

________ used the scientific approach to identify two laws of inheritance.

New cards
15
