What is the difference between codominance and incomplete dominance?
Incomplete dominance is the mixing of the two alleles (for example, red+white=pink) and codominance is the two alleles are each shown.

What is the ratio of Mendel's dihybrid cross?
homogeneous dominance:heterozygous:heterogeneous:homogeneous recessive 9:3:3:1

What is a carrier?
In genetics, an individual who is heterozygous at a given genetic locus for a recessively inherited disorder. The heterozygote is generally phenotypically normal for the disorder but can pass on the recessive allele to offspring.

What is a Tay-Sachs disease?
A human genetic disease caused by a recessive allele for a dysfunctional enzyme, leading to accumulation of certain lipids in the brain.

When do you use the addition rule and when do you use the multiplication rule?
Addition rule is a rule of probability stating that the probability of any one of two or more mutually exclusive events occurring can be determined by adding their individual probabilities. Multiplication rule is a rule of probability stating that the probability of two or more independent events occurring together can be determined by multiplying their individual probabilities.

What is a test cross?
Breeding an organism of unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the unknown genotype. The ratio of phenotypes in the offspring reveals the unknown genotype.
