When a mutated gene makes a protein that doesn't function properly, it will result in genetic diseases and will express disease symptoms in the individual. An example is sickle cell anemia. Hemoglobin is a vital protein used by red blood cells to transport oxygen throughout the body. When a mutated gene makes hemoglobin that is altered and does not function properly, it can cause anemia (a condition in which an individual has low healthy red blood cells).

Dominant: the more common trait (brown hair)

Recessive: a trait that doesn't show up unless both parents carry it (blue eyes)

Co- dominant: both traits show up and co- exist (AB blood)

Incomplete dominance: when a dominant gene does not completely mask a recessive gene so they blend (pink flower)

Phenotype: physical trait- able to be seen (stripes on a zebra)

Genotype: genetic makeup of an organism - genetic trait

Hetrozygous: different (Bb)

Homzygous dominant: same and dominant (bb) and (BB)

Purebred: same as homzygous- has same alleles (bb) and (BB)

Hybrid: also known as heterozygous traits

What is the phenotypic ratio of a monohybrid cross between two heterozygous parents?.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

If both parents are heterozygous in a monohybrid cross, the offspring will have a phenotypic ratio of 3:1. If both are heterozygous for both traits in a dihybrid cross, the phenotypic ratio will be 9:3:3:1.
