Term
Allele
Definition
One version of a gene
Term
Codominant allele
Definition
– An interaction between two versions of a gene in which the products of both versions are seen in the phenotype
Term
Dominant allele
Definition
– A version of a gene that masks the effects of another version of the gene
Term
Epistasis
Definition
– An inheritance pattern in which the effects of one gene pair mask the effects of other gene pairs
Term
Genomic imprinting
Definition
– A pattern of inheritance in which the expression of a gene depends on whether it is inherited from the mother or the father
Term
Heterozygote
Definition
–– A gene pair consisting of two different alleles
Term
Homologous pair
Definition
Two versions of a chromosome within a diploid cell.
Term
Homozygote
Definition
A gene pair consisting of two copies of the same allele
Term
Incomplete dominance
Definition
– An interaction between two versions of a gene that produces a phenotype intermediate between the two phenotypes produced by genotypes with two copies of each version
Term
Mendelian
Definition
form of inheritance in which a single gene pair governs the development of a single trait
Term
Pedigree –
Definition
A diagram of the phenotypes of family members, over several generations, with regard to a particular trait
Term
Pleiotropy
Definition
pattern of inheritance in which a single gene pair controls more than one trait
Term
Polygenic –
Definition
A form of inheritance in which a trait is determined by more than one gene pair
Term
Recessive allele
Definition
– A version of a gene that has its effects masked by another version of the gene.
Term
X-linked trait
Definition
– A characteristic determined by a gene within the X chormosone.
