Phenotype
Autosomal Traits
Elaboration/Reasoning
Complete dominance or Dominant/Recessive
Genotype
Codominance
Allele
Claim
Incomplete dominance
traits located on non-sex chromosomes
Female genotype
The two alleles traits mix so the trait meets in the middle...it won't look like either, but a mixture of the two alleles
traits that are inherited with the sex allele (X or Y)
A trait that is controlled by multiple genes (more than 2 alleles)
The two alleles both show up. They don't mix...you see both traits (alleles)
Male Genotype
Segment of DNA that codes for a protein. 2 or more proteins then make the trait
Explaining what the evidence means
Whatever set (2) of alleles a person has for a gene (trait). Like HH or Hh
The stronger allele covers up the weaker allele so you only see the dominant allele
Factual answer to a scientific question.
Form of a gene. They are found on opposite chromosome pairs. You get one of these from each parent.
An organism's physical appearance for a trait. What the trait/gene looks like visually
Observations, numbers, data collected from an investigation
