In humans four blood types are possible:

A,b,ab, o

That’s are.... alleles that determine blood type

Three

The three blood type alleles are

Ia, Ib, and i

Alleles Ia and Ib are

Codominant

And the i is

Recessive

Many genes have two or more alleles and are said to have

Multiple alleles

In polygenic inheritance, the determination of a given characteristic is the result of:

The interaction of many genes

Traits such as ...... are not determined by one pair of alleles

Size, height, shape, weight, color, metabolic, rate, and behavior

Mendels principles form the basis of

Modern genetics

The inheritance of traits is determined by individual units known as

Genes

Genes are passed from parent to

Offspring

Each gene has two or more forms called

Alleles

Each parent has ..... alleles for a particular trait that they inherited from their parents

Two

The alleles for one trait segregate....... of the alleles for another trait

Independently

Gene expression is always the result of the interaction of:

Genetic potential with the environment

In multicellular organisms, cells go through

Differentiation

Stem cells are important because they cansingle celled organisms reproduce by

Differentiate into a variety of specialized cell types

Single celled organisms reproduce by

Binary fission

A piece of DNA that provides a set of instructions to a cell to make a certain protein

Gene

Any alternative forms of a gene that may occur at a specific locus

Allele

Two of the same alleles at a specific locus

Homozygous

Two different alleles at a specific locus

Heterozygous

Refers to the genetic makeup of a specific set of genes

Genotype

The physical characteristics, or traits, of an individual

Phenotype

An allele that is expressed even two different alleles are present

Dominant
