Definition
AUTOSOME
Term
AN INDIVIDUAL HETEROZYGOUS FOR A SPECIFIC TRAIT
Definition
CARRIER
Term
PATTERN WHERE PHENOTYPES OF BOTH HOMOZYGOTE PARENTS ARE PRODUCED IN HETEROZYGOUS OFFSPRING SO THAT BOTH ALLELES ARE EQUALLY EXPRESSED
Definition
CODOMINANT ALLELE
Term
A DEVELOPING MAMMAL FROM 9 WEEKS TO BIRTH
