Document Summary

Homozygous recessive possessing two identical recessive alleles for a particular trait. Heterozygous possessing unlike alleles for a particular trait. Punnett square used to calculate expected results of simple genetic crosses. One-trait cross method for determining the inheritance pattern of a trait between male and female parents. 1 trait cross involving parents heterozygous for that trait. Monohybrid an individual that is a heterozygous for a single trait. 2 alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and are rejoined at random during fertilization. Incomplete dominance occurs when the heterozygote is intermediate between the two homozygotes. Codominance occurs when alleles are equally expressed in the heterozygote. Multiple-allele inheritance inheritance pattern in which there are more than 2 alleles for a particular test. Polygenic inheritance inheritance pattern in which more than 1 gene affects a trait. Autosomes any chromosome other than the sex chromosome. Sex chromosomes chromosome that determines the sex of an individual. Males have both an x and y chromosome.
