20. Parents do not transmit
traits directly; they
transmit trait information
in the form of “factors”
Each parent has two copies
of a trait factor
21. Alternative forms of a factor
(alleles) lead to alternative
traits
The two alleles an individual
has do not affect each other
The presence of an allele
does not guarantee that a
trait will be expressed
22. For a certain trait,
an individual can be...
Homozygous
have two alleles that are the same
Heterozygous
have two alleles that are different
37. Parents do not transmit
traits directly; they
transmit trait information
in the form of genes
Each parent has two copies
of a trait gene
38. Alleles, alternative forms of
a gene, lead to alternative
traits
The two alleles an individual
has do not affect each other
The presence of an allele
does not guarantee that a
trait will be expressed
68. X-Linked Dominant
[A] mode of genetic inheritance by which
a dominant gene is carried on the X
chromosome. As an inheritance pattern, it is less
common than the X-linked recessive type. In
medicine, X-linked dominant inheritance
indicates that a gene responsible for a genetic
disorder is located on the X chromosome, and
only one copy of the allele is sufficient to cause
the disorder when inherited from a parent who
has the disorder.

71. X-Linked Recessive
[A] mode of inheritance in which a mutation in a
gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype
to be expressed (1) in males… and (2) in females
who are homozygous for the gene mutation...
X-linked inheritance
means that the gene
causing the trait or the
disorder is located on
the X chromosome.
