Question Answer
Dominance (type of inheritance) dominant trait is exhibited ex. tongue roll
Incomplete Dominance (type of inheritance) 3rd phenotype is expressed from the heterozygous condition ex. red flower + white flower crossed to produce pink flower
Codominance (type of inheritance) both alleles are dominant + expressed ex. red cow + white cow crossed to produce roan cow
Polygenic (type of inheritance) multiple allelic pairs are involved to determine phenotype ex. dihybrid cross with the hair type allele (curly/str8), and the hair color allele (blond/brown)
Linked Genes genes that are located on the same chromosome *only separated by crossing over*
Sex Linked Genes genes located on the x/y chromosomes ex. hemophelia, colorblindness (on x chromosome)
Epistasis expression of one gene is affected by another gene ex. pigment gene needed to express any skin, hair, eye, color genes ---> IF NO PIGMENT: ALBINO
Pleitropy one gene may cause multiple effects ex. sickle cell anemia --> circulatory probs -> heart probs -> liver probs
