F2 Generation A trait that is determined by a gene found on one of the sex chromosomes, such as the X chromosome. Codominance The physical appearance of a character EX: brown hair, green eyes, etc. Homozygous The alleles of different genes separate independently of one another A cross that involves ONE pair of contrasting traits. Incomplete Dominance F1 Generation Dominant Alleles An individual whose phenotype is dominant, but whose genotype is not known, is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual. Heredity Punnett Square Heterozygous Polygenic Inheritance genes with more than two alleles EX: blood type A trait that is not expressed when the dominant trait is present. The parental generation - original two individuals that are crossed during a breeding experiment.
