Document Summary

Alleles: alternate forms of genes in a population. Complete dominance: a dominant allele is always expressed completely in a phenotype, even when a recessive allele is present in the genotype. Incomplete dominance: a pattern of inheritance in which neither allele is completely dominant over the other when the alleles are pair together in the heterozygote. Codominance: a situation in which neither allele is dominant over the other. Autosomal chromosoomes: 23 chromosomes, 22 are autosomes. Homozygous: when a genotype consists of the same type of alleles. Heterozygous: when a genotype consists of different types of allies. Foil (first, outside, inside, last) ab, ab, ab, ab. Sex linked inheritance: traits controlled by sex chromosomes. Mutation is the ultimate source of new alleles and new genotypes. Mutation introduces new alleles into the population. Population: a group of individuals belonging to the same species in a given area. Allele frequency: the proportion of all gene copies in a population that an allele accounts for.
