Genetics Review P1

Genetic action where genes act independently of other genes and the environment.

• Additive

• Breeding Value

• Co-Dominance

• Incomplete dominance

Type of genetic inheritance where one allele is not completely dominant over the other allele.

• Additive

• Breeding Value

• Co-Dominacne

• Incomplete dominance

The sum of all of the additive genes related to that trait in an animal.

• Additive

• Breeding Value

• Co-Dominance

• Incomplete Dominance

Genetic cross between organisms with two different phenotypes producing offspring with a third phenotype that is a blend of the traits.

• Additive

• Breeding Value

• Co-Dominance

• Incomplete Dominance

Genetic action caused by dominance level exiting between genes at a certain location on chromosomes and across these locations.

• Inherited Triats

• Non-Additive

• Polygenic

• Simple Inheritance

When the phenotype is only influenced by more than one gene.

• Inherited Traits

• Non-additive

• Polygenic

• Simple Inheritance

Animal phenotype that is influenced by more than one gene.

• Inherited traits

• non-additive

• polygenic

• simple inheritance

Features associated with an animal that are controlled by the genes of the parent and passed down to offspring.
