Mendelian Genetics

4. It refers to the physical appearance or trait of an organism.
5. the degree of dominance when the dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele.
6. heritable features that vary among individuals
9. different varieties of a gene
13. the degree of dominance when neither allele is completely dominant
15. A segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein
17. the degree of dominance when two alleles are both fully expressed.
18. two words; A tool that can be used to predict the genotype and phenotype of a potential offspring.
19. occurs when the expression of one gene interferes with another independently inherited gene.

1. carriers for recessively inherited diseases
2. two words; occurs when multiple genes contribute to one characteristic
3. It refers to the genetic makeup of an organism (the two alleles for a single gene)
7. occurs when one gene affects multiple characteristics
8. a diagram that shows heritable features over multiple generations.
10. The genotype when two chromosomes contain the same alleles.
11. The allele which determines an organism’s trait.
12. The genotype when two chromosomes contain different alleles.
14. The allele which does NOT determine a trait if the dominant allele is present.
16. different varieties of a character
