New cards

Law of Dominance

  • a pattern of heredity in which only one gene of an allele is expressed 

2
New cards

Due to the Law of Dominance what happens in the heterozygous condition?

  • In heterozygous individuals, one allele of a gene may express itself and mask the presence of the other allele (mask the recessive allele.)

3
New cards

Law of Segregation and Recombination

  • alleles separate during meiosis and recombine during fertilization 

4
New cards

Law of Independent Assortment

  • the law that states that genes separate randomly of one another in meiosis and may be inherited independently of one another 

5
New cards

Incomplete dominance

  • type of inheritance in which one allele for a trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. Results in a 3rd phenotype which is a combination of both alleles.

6
New cards

Codominance 

type of inheritance where both alleles are expressed at the same time in the heterozygous individual
