Chromosomes 1 to 22, applies to all chromosomes except the sex chromosomes.

Genes coding for the same trait and found at the same locus of homologous chromosomes.

Q.
Having identical alleles at the same location (on a pair of homologous chromosomes)

Q.
The observable physical and functional traits of an organism.
11

Q.
A grid used for predicting patterns of inheritance and the probability that a particular genotype will be inherited.
12
30 sec
Q.
The principle stating that during the production of gametes the two copies of each hereditary factor segregate so that offspring acquire one factor from each parent.
13

Q.
The allele that shows up when both alleles are present.
14
30 sec
Q.
The allele that is hidden when both alleles are present.
15
30 sec
Q.
The alleles of different genes are distributed to egg and sperm cells independently of each other during meiosis.
16
30 sec
Q.
A pattern of genetic inheritance in which the heterozygous genotype results in a phenotype that is intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes.
17
30 sec
Q.
Pattern of inheritance in which both alleles of a gene are equally expressed even though the phenotypes they specify are different.
18
30 sec
Q.
An inherited disorder in which the red blood cells assume a sickle shape when the oxygen concentration is low.
19
30 sec
Q.
Alleles in which the closer they are located to each other on the chromosome the more likely they are to be inherited together.
20
30 sec
Q.
The diploid chromosomal complement in any species; in humans it is shown as a composite display of 22 pairs of autosomes arranged from longest to shortest, plus the sex chromosomes X and Y
21
30 sec
Q.
Pattern of inheritance that depends on genes located on the sex chromosomes; is X-linked if the gene is located only on the X chromosome, and Y-linked if it is located only on the Y chromosome.
22
30 sec
Q.
Failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis or failure of homologous pairs to separate during meiosis; causes abnormal numbers of chromosomes in the resulting daughter cells.
23
30 sec
Q.
Occurs when a piece of chromosome breaks off and is lost.
24
30 sec
Q.
A change in chromosome location that occurs when a piece of a chromosome breaks off but reattaches at another site, either on the same chromosome or another chromosome; can result in subtle changes in gene expression and ability to function.
25
30 sec
Q.
An allele that is uncommon because they tend to eliminate themselves from the population, especially if they cause disease before the affected individual's reproductive years.
