Multifactorial Inheritance
Inheritance Patterns
The different ways GENES and their ALLELES interact during the transmission of genetic traits that effect the outcome of GENE EXPRESSION.
Pedigree
Genes, Recessive
Genes that influence the PHENOTYPE only in the homozygous state.
Genes, Dominant
Genes that influence the PHENOTYPE both in the homozygous and the heterozygous state.
Extrachromosomal Inheritance
Crosses, Genetic
Genetic Linkage
Phenotype
The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment.
Models, Genetic
Alleles
Chromosome Mapping
Mutation
Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations.
Genotype
The genetic constitution of the individual, comprising the ALLELES present at each GENETIC LOCUS.
