If a particular genetic trait is , then every child exhibiting the trait will also have at least one parent exhibiting the trait.
dominant
There are no carriers for Huntington's Disease- you either have it or you don't. With this in mind, is Huntington's disease caused by a dominant or recessive trait?
dominant
Mendel observed that alleles can be dominant or recessive, and the dominant allele typically masks the expression of the other allele.
dominant, dominant

Parents transmit information about traits to their offspring in units called
genes

hemophilia
Also in a karyotype, pairs of chromosomes, one of the pair from the male parent and the other from the female parent, are arranged in descending order of size.
homologous
If the two alleles are the same, the individual is said to be ; if the two alleles are different, the individual is said to be
homozygous, heterozygous
In some pairs of alleles, dominance is exhibited when the heterozygote has an intermediate phenotype.
incomplete
In the pink heterozygotes, the expression of the alleles is between that of either homozygote.
intermediate
Because the disease alleles reside on the X chromosome, any who inherits a mutated allele will develop the disease because the other sex chromosome is a Y chromosome that lacks any alleles of those genes.
male
In a pedigree, are designated by squares and by circles.
males, females
A trait is most likely to exhibit continuous variation if it is controlled by
many genes, each with several possible alleles.
Chromosomes carry genes from parent to offspring and are distributed to gametes during ; each gamete receives one copy of each chromosome and therefore one allele for each .
meiosis, gene
A gene is a permanent change in the sequence of bases of DNA.
mutation
This disorder is caused by a of a gene that encodes a protein necessary for blood clotting.
