Biology 11.2: Complex Patterns of Inheritance

True or False: Complex inheritance of traits follows inheritance patterns described by Mendel.

• True

• False

This is where the heterozygous phenotype is an intermediate phenotype between the two homozygous phenotypes.

• Codominance

• Incomplete Dominance

• Split Alleles

• Multiple Alleles

This is a complex inheritance pattern where both alleles are expressed in the heterozygous condition.

• Codominance

• Incomplete Dominance

• Split Alleles

• Multiple Alleles

Some forms of inheritance are determined by more than two alleles referred to as:

• Codominance

• Incomplete Dominance

• Split Alleles

• Multiple Alleles

This is an interaction between alleles in which one allele hides the effects of another allele:

• Autosomes

• Epistasis

• Multiple Alleles

• Dominant Allele

This is the pair of chromosomes that determines an individual's gender:

• Autosomes

• Epistasis

• Gender Alleles

• Sex Chromosomes

The other 22 pairs of chromosomes in the human body:

• Sex Chromosomes

• Autosomes

• Chromosome Pairs

• Karyotypes

These are traits controlled by genes located on the X chromosome:

• Sex Chromosomes

• Autosomes

• Sex-linked Traits

• Y-Linked Traits

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

This is a characteristic, such as eye color or skin color, that results from the interaction of multiple gene pairs:

• Chromosome Inactivation

• Sex-linked Traits

• Polygenic Traits

• Multi-trait Chromosomes

This disease affects red blood cells and their ability to transport oxygen; changes in hemoglobin cause the blood cells to change to a "C" shape:

• Hemophilia

• Hepatitis

• Sickle-cell Disease

• Malaria
