A trait that is not expressed when the dominant trait is present. Codominance An individual whose phenotype is dominant, but whose genotype is not known, is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. Genetics Two alleles for a character segregate when gametes are formed. The physical appearance of a character EX: brown hair, green eyes, etc. Probability Polygenic Inheritance A trait that is determined by a gene found on one of the sex chromosomes, such as the X chromosome. Punnett Square Incomplete Dominance Heterozygous Alleles Heredity A family history that shows how a trait is inherited over several generations F2 Generation Homozygous genes with more than two alleles EX: blood type A cross that involves ONE pair of contrasting traits. The alleles of different genes separate independently of one another Dominant F1 Generation
