__________ is the transmission of traits from one generation to the next.

A heritable feature that varies among individuals, such as flower color, is called a

Referring to organisms for which sexual reproduction produces offspring with inherited traits identical to those of the parents.

A general rule in inheritance that individuals have 2 alleles for each gene and that when gametes form, the 2 alleles separate, each resulting gamete ending up with only 1 allele of each gene.

The mating between an individual of unknown genotype for a particular characteristic and an individual that is homozygous recessive for the same characteristic.

The version of a character that most commonly occurs in nature.

A family genetic tree representing the occurrence of heritable traits in parents and offspring across a number of generations.

An individual who is heterozygous for a recessively inherited disorder and who therefore does not show symptoms of that disorder but may pass on the recessive allele to offspring

A type of inheritance in which the phenotypes of the heterozygote and dominant homozygote are indistinguishable.

A type of inheritance in which the phenotype of a heterozygote is intermediate between the phenotypes of the two types of homozygotes.

Inheritance pattern in which a heterozygote expresses the distinct trait of both alleles.

The control of more than one phenotypic characteristic by a single gene.

The additive effects of two or more gene loci on a single phenotypic characteristic.

Genes located near each other on the same chromosome that tend to be inherited together.

With respect to two given genes, the number of recombinant progeny from a mating divided by the total number of progeny.

A chromosome that determines whether an individual is male or female.

A gene located on a sex chromosome.
