in ___ dominance, the same phenotype results whether the dominant allele is heterozygous or homozygous.
complete
in __ dominance, the phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate between those of 2 homozygotes
incomplete
in ____, the heterozygote exhibits the phenotypes of both homozygotes
codominance
in many cases, different genes interact to determine phenotypic characteristics. In _____, for example, modified mendelian ratios occur bc of gene interactions; the phenotypic expression of one gene depends on the genotype of another gene locus
epistasis
Alleles of certain genes may be fatal to the individual. The existence of such ___ ____ indicates that the product usually produced by the nonlethal allele is essential for the function of the organism
lethal allele
___= the frequency at which an allele manifests itself phenotypically within a population.
penetrance
___= the kind or degree of phenotypic manifestation of a gene or genotype in a particular individual
expressivity
what influences gene expression?
organisms environment, both internal and external
internal- age and sex
external- nutrition, light, chemicals, temp, and infectious agents
___= most of the genetic traits considered in the earlier discussion of the mendelian principles is determined predominantly by differences in genotype; that is, ____ differences result from genotypic differences

for many traits however, phenotype is influenced by genes and environment
variation
__= allele that causes death in early development
lethal allele
if you see a 2:1 ratio, it is almost always produced by a recessive ____ allele.

so allele cannot be transmitted to next generation unless allele is expressed after the onset of reproduction
lethal
examples of multiple alleles at at the same locus..
ABO blood types
coat colors in rabbits
in ___- 1 gene hides the effects of another gene at a diff locus
epistasis
____ =gene does the masking

__=gene that is masked
epistatis


hypostatic
reccessive epistasis examples...needs 'ee' to get this masking
coat colors in labrador retreivers
__ epistasis- only 1 copy of allele at one locus is needed to mask alleles at 2nd locus
dominant
how does epistasis occur?
many cases of epistasis arised bc a gene that has an effect on a early step in a pathway will be epistatic to genes that affect subsequent steps, bc effect of enzyme in late steps depends on PRODUCT OF EARLIER REACTION
__= 5 common alleles- determines depth and distribution of color
agouti (A) locus
___= 2 allelels, and determines if black pigment can be formed
black (B) locus
____= can full color be expressed; 5 alleles; full color to fully albino
Albino (C) locus
__= is color diluted; intense to diluted pigmentation
dilution ( D) locus
__= where is genotype for the A llocus expressed? Over entire body or restricted- 5 alleles
extension (E) locus
__= are white spots present; 4 allelesl range from no spots to almost white
spotting (S) locus
__= small colored spots on white areas; 2 alleles; either ticking or no ticking; cant be expressed if no spots at the S locus
ticking (T) locus
The ___ gene is responsible for eumelanin pigment
B gene/ black
The ___ gene restricts black pigment; mostly to the mane, tail, or legs (bay)
the A gene
The __ allele produces no dilution

cc thought to produce true albino
C
__ gene dilutes both black and red pigments; produces a dorsal stripe
d gene
___ gene produces a horse with white hairs mixed throughout the body, looks similar to gray, but has the white hairs at birth and doesnt change
r gene (roan)
the __gene, is a dominant gene that causes a silver dapple
makes a flaxen mane and tail
the Z gene
the __ gene is a dominant paint gene where white crosses the top line and all legs re white
t (tobiano) gene
the __ gene is a dominant gene that is a paint gene
if homozygous can cause lethal white bc of lethal defect of astresia coli
O (overo) gene
__ __ traits are determined by autosomal genes inherited according to mendels principles
-expressed differently in males and females
-examples; beards on goats- only one Bb allele needed to form beards on males, and 2 copies needed to form on females
sex influenced
extreme form of sex influenced trait is a __ ___ trait
sex limited
if ____ penetrance, the genotype may not express the expected phenotype
incomplete penetrance
__= percentage of individuals having a particular genotype that express the expected phenotype
penetrance
__= the degree to which a trait is expressed
expressivity
