Inheritance

2. an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by a faulty dominant gene
6. the degree of dominance that occurs when the phenotype of the heterozygote and dominant homozygote are identical
9. the degree of dominance that occurs when the phenotype of the organism is somewhere between the phenotypes of its parents
10. a sequence of nucleotides that codes for a protein
11. an organism with two different alleles
12. the allele that determines the organism's appearance
13. variations of a gene
14. an organism with two identical alleles
17. two words; a tool that is used to determine possible combinations of gametes

1. two words; occurs when two or more genes affect a single phenotype
3. an organism's physical appearance
4. the degree of dominance that occurs when two dominant alleles affect the phenotype in separate distinguishable ways
5. a recessive trait that causes a lack of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes due to a deficiency in melanin production
7. the allele that has no noticeable effect on appearance
8. the law of mendelian genetics that states that two alleles for a character separate during gamete formation
9. ASSORTMENT law of mendelian genetics that states that genes located on different chromosomes are inherited independently from one another
15. the complete set of genes or genetic material present in a cell or organism
16. an organism's genetic makeup
