inheritance
description of how hereditary characteristics are passed from
parent organisms to their offspring
gene
unit of inherited information in DNA (Concept 1.1)
generation
Grandparents, parents, and children represent three generations of a
family
phenotype
observable traits of an organism (Concept 10.2)
genotype
genetic makeup of an organism; an organism's combination of alleles
(Concept 10.2)
allele
alternative form of a gene (Concept 10.2)
homozygous
having identical alleles for a gene (Concept 10.2)
heterozygous
having different alleles for a gene (Concept 10.2)
Punnett square
diagram showing the probabilities of the possible outcomes of a genetic
cross (Concept 10.2)
probability
the measure of how likely an event is
ratio
a relationship between two numbers of the same kind, usually expressed
as "a to b" or a:b
Simple dominance
Inheritance in which one allele of a gene masks the expression (phenotype)
of another allele at the same locus(Concept 10.2)
Dominant
descriptive of an allele in a heterozygous individual that appears to
be the only one affecting a trait (Concept 10.2)
recessive
descriptive of an allele in a heterozygous individual that does not appear to affect a trait (Concept 10.2)
Incomplete dominance
inheritance in which heterozygotes have a phenotype intermediate
between the phenotypes of the two homozygotes (Concept 10.3)
Also called intermediate inheritance
Codominance
inheritance pattern in which a heterozygote expresses the distinct traits of both alleles (Concept 10.3)
