Question | Answer |
Allele | different form of a gene |
locus | position of a particular gene on the chromosome |
phenotype | the appearance of an organism resulting from the interaction of the genotype and the environment |
genotype | combination of alleles for a particular gene |
dominant | a type of allele that only rewuires one copy for the characteristics to be expressed in the phenotype- characteristic will be expressed even if it is heterozygous |
recessive | a type of allele that requires both identical alleles for it to be expressed in the phenotype |
co dominant | two alleles contributing to the phenotype |
crossing over | when length of DNA are swapped from one chromatid to another |
linkage | two or more genes located on the same chromosome which will reduce the number of phenotype resulting from a cross (3:1 ratio) |
