(2) If an event is absolutely certain to happen, it’s probability is 1. If it cannot possibly happen, it’s probability is 0. All other events events have a probability between 0 and 1.
(3) Pedigrees: Family trees that show the occurrence of inherited phenotypes in several generations of related individuals 
(4) Genes are subject to mutations, which are rare, stable, and inherited changes in the genetic material. In other words, an allele can mutate to become a different allele
(5) Because this trait is recessive, heterozygotes do not have the albino phenotype, but they can pass the allele on to their offspring. Affected persons must inherit the allele from two heterozygous parents, or (rarely) from one homozygous recessive and one heterozygous parent... (?)
(6) Genotype is the set of genes in our DNA which are responsible for a particular trait. Phenotype is an organism’s observable characteristics and traits
(7) Incomplete dominance-heterozygotes having an intermediate phenotype. Sometimes two alleles of a gene both produce their phenotypes when present in a heterozygote- a phenomenon called codominance. Epistasis occurs when the phenotypic expression of one gene is affected by another gene. Traits conferred by multiple genes are usually quantitative traits that need to be measured rather than assessed qualitatively.]]> 2021-04-10 02:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/MsLeCour/ldo93sk7hq17gi4y/wish/1401911163 Tiana toquend004 https://padlet.com/MsLeCour/ldo93sk7hq17gi4y/wish/1421332619 (1) Alleles of different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation.

(5) Since this is the recessive trait, heterozygotes don't have a rare condition phenotype, but they can pass the allele to their offspring. Affected persons must inherit the allele from two unaffected parents, and only 1/4 of the affected persons have parents that are both heterozygotes.

(2) What are the three basic conventions of probability is:

- If an event is absolutely certain to happen, its probability is 1.
- If it cannot possibly happen, its probability is 0.
- All other events have a probability between 0 and 1.

(3) Pedigrees: Family trees that show the occurrence of inherited phenotypes in several generations of related individuals

(4) The differences between genes and alleles is alleles can mutate and become a different stable. But genes are subject to mutations but they're stable

 (5) The differences between homozygous and heterozygous conditions is heterozygous condition is  

(6) What is the difference between a genotype and a phenotype? 

(7) incomplete dominance: codominance:

epistasis:

quantitative traits:

2) The three basic conventions pf probability are if an event is absolutely certain to happen, its probability is 1, if it cannot happen then its probability is 0, and all other events have a probability between 0 and 1. 
3) Pedigrees are family trees that show the occurrence of inherited phenotypes in several generations of related individuals.
4) Genes are subject to mutations they are rare and stable and inherit changes in the genetic material. An allele can mutate to become a different allele. 
5) The differences between homozygous and heterozygous  conditions are that since this trait is recessive, heterozygotes don't have the albino phenotype but they can transfer the allele on to their offspring. Affected people must inherit the allele from two heterozygous parents or rarely from from one homozygous recessive and one heterozygous parent or very rarely 2 homozygous parents.
6) The difference between the a genotype and a phenotype is that the set of genes in our DNA are responsible for a particular trait. A phenotype is an organism's physical appearance characteristics/traits. 
7) Incomplete dominance: When the alleles are neither dominant nor recessive to one another. Instead the heterozygotes have an intermediate phenotype
Co dominance: Sometimes 2 alleles of a gene both produce their phenotypes when present in a heterozygote ( a phenomenon)
Epistasis: occurs when the phenotypic expression of one gene is affected by another gene
Quantitive traits: Traits that are conferred by multiple genes that need to be measured rather than assessed qualitatively.
