Definition
No
Term
Is chromosome number related to the size of an organism?
Definition
No
Term
True or False.  Chromosome number is equal to the number of genes on a chromosome.
Definition
F
Term
Homozygous
Definition
The condition in which both forms of the gene are the same Ex. AA or aa (purebred)
Term
True or False.  Heterozygous and hybrid are the same.
Definition
T
Term
True of False.  We have 2 traits because we have 2 parents.
Definition
T
Term
True or False.  There are 129 genes that determine your skin color.
Definition
T
Term
Heterozygous
Definition
The condition in which the two expressions of a gene pair are different Ex. Tt or Aa (hybrid)
Term
What is the difference between codominance and incomplete dominance?
Definition

In incomplete dominance, 2 traits combine or blend together to produce a different trait.  There is no pure dominant or pure recessive trait expressed.  Both traits have the same influence in the organism.

In codominance, the dominant and recessive traits are both expressed.  

Term
Mendel experimented with __________________ to discover how organisms inherit their traits.
