100
This allele is represented by a capital letter.
What is a dominant allele?
100
Crossing 1 trait is called a _________ cross
What is a monohybrid cross?
100
A pink flower and a pink flower cross to make red, pink, and white flowers.
What is incomplete dominance?
100
The percent of homozygous dominant individuals.
What is 0%?
200
How someone can tell if a trait is dominant or recessive.
What is capitalization?
200
When the alleles blend for a heterozygous cross.
What is incomplete dominance?
200
When there are more than two alleles that control a single gene. (Eg. A/B/O Blood types)
What is multiple alleles?
200

What is codominance?
200
A female carrier of Hemophilia is married to a man with hemophilia. What is the percentage of daughters that will have the trait?
What is 50%?
300
The physical characteristics of a trait.
What is a phenotype?
300
When both alleles are equally dominant, they both show up.
What is codominance?
300
Things other than genes that affect the phenotype of an organism. (eg. intelligence, height)
What are environmental factors?
300
A red fly is either homozygous dominant or heterozygous. A black fly is homozygous recessive.
What is complete dominance?
300
What is x-linked recessive?
400
Chromosome pairs #1-22
What is autosomal chromosomes?
400
When the dominant allele covers up the recessive allele.
What is complete dominance?
400
When more than one gene controls the physical trait. (Eg. Height is controlled by AA, BB, and CC)
What are polygenic traits?
400
Mom is AB, Dad is Ao. Their son is Bo.
What is multiple alleles?
400
What is autosomal dominant?
500
When an organism has the allele for the trait but does not show the trait. (from pedigrees)
What is a carrier?
500
What Cross results in all four offspring with heterozygous genotypes.
What is a cross between homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive?
500
It states that different genes sort into gametes separately since they exist on different chromosomes.
What is Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment?
500
Genotype of a woman whose father is colorblind but she is not.
What is XCXc?
500
