Allele:One member of a pair of
genes occupying a specific spot on a chromosome that
controls the same trait.
![Page 3: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Chromosome:A structure within the cell that bears
the genetic material of an organism.

Codominance:
A condition in which the alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote
are fully expressed thereby resulting in offspring with a phenotype that is neither dominant nor recessive.
Example: AB Blood Type

Dominant Allele:
The allele that determines the phenotype of an
organism, masking the effect of the recessive allele when present.

Gamete:A reproductive
cell that contains the haploid set of chromosomes.

Gene:A segment of DNA that is responsible
for the phenotype of an organism.
![Page 8: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Genotype:The entire set of genes
in an organism that determines the expression of a
particular phenotype.

Heredity:The passing of
genetic factors from parent to offspring.
![Page 10: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Heterozygous:An organism containing two different alleles (a dominant
and a recessive) for a particular trait.
![Page 11: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Homozygous:An organism containing two copies of the same
allele (two dominant or two recessive) for a particular
trait.
![Page 12: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Homozygous Dominant:An organism that
has two dominant alleles (RR).
![Page 13: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Homozygous Recessive:
An organism that has two recessive
genes (rr).
![Page 14: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Incomplete Dominance:A kind of dominance occurring in
heterozygotes in which the dominant allele is only partially expressed. This usually results in offspring with an intermediate
phenotype because the organism has one dominant allele and one
recessive allele.
![Page 15: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Genetic Locus: The location of a
gene on a chromosome.
![Page 16: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Monohybrid Cross:
A crossbreeding experiment that follows the inheritance of a single characteristic across one or more generations. In other words this is a cross of one trait from two parents.
![Page 17: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Multiple alleles: The existence of
several known alleles of a gene.
![Page 18: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Phenotype:The physical
appearance of an organism as a result of the interaction of its genotype and the
environment.
![Page 19: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Polygenic Trait: A trait that is controlled by two
or more genes at different loci on different chromosomes.
Examples: height, skin color, weight.
![Page 20: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Recessive:An allele whose phenotypic expression is masked by a
dominant allele. The recessive trait may be expressed when the
recessive genes are in a homozygous condition.
![Page 21: Key Terms TAS](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102813/54580edfaf795997118b5d4d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Trait:A qualitative
characteristic. An attribute of
phenotype, not of genotype.
