Mendelian Genetics

Different versions of the same gene are called:

• Alleles

• Locus

• Nucleotide

• Genes

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

A ______________ allele is usually a functional protein that completely masks other allele.

• dominant

• recessive

• incomplete dominant

• co-dominant

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

A ______________ allele is often a non-functional protein that is masked by the other allele.

• dominant

• recessive

• incomplete dominant

• co-dominant

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

A feature regulated by a set of genes (allele) passed on

from parents to offspring. Also called inherited traits.
