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