What are the difference of mendelian genetics and non-mendelian genetics?
In Mendelian inheritance the allele has a one to one effect on the phenotype. A polygenic effect is given when many genes contribute in an additive fashion to the phenotype. Height is such and may have as many as eight genes contributing to the effect. Behavior is also of this type. Eye color is more Mendelian in nature.
A trait determined by a combined effect of more than one gene?
Some traits are determined by the combined effect of more than one pair of genes also called polygenic, or continuous, traits. An exampleis human stature. The size of all of the body parts from head to foot determines the height of an individual. The sizes of all of these body parts are, in turn, determined by numerous genes. Human skin, hair, and eye color are also polygenic traits because they are influenced by more than one allele at different loci.
What gametes can be produced from TtGg?
Assuming you mean the individual is double heterzygous for genes M and T, i.e. M/m and T/t, and assuming that the genes are unlinked, equal proportions of these 4 gametes will be formed: MT, Mt, mT and mt.
A characteristic of an organism that is determined by many genes?
The terms used to describe a number of genes on separate loci on the same chromosome (or another chromosome) which together determine a single phenotypic trait are polygene, multiple factor, multiple gene inheritance or quantitative gene.
Word describing the two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits?
Two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits are called homologous chromosomes. These chromosomes are in the same locations or loci.
What is a heterozygous phenotype?
Having different alleles at one or more corresponding chromosomal loci. Like people who are resistant to sickle-cell anaemia.
What member of a pair or series of genes that occupies a specific position on a specific chromosome is referred to?
The position is called locus (plural: loci).

What are the 4 loci's?
There are infinitely many loci. So the answer depends on which 4 locis you mean.Incidentally, it should not be "loci's" which means belong to the loci.
Set of points that satisfies a given condition?
It is called a locus (plural = loci).
What does chromosomal loci mean?
Chromosomal Loci is a Heterozygous
When was Loci Communes created?
Loci Communes was created in 1543.
Genes occupy specific locations on the.?
chromosome. where they are located is called the locus. plural= loci
What are different forms of the same gene called and where is their precise location?
C) alleles, known as their loci
Penny walks that route in her mind seeing the items in the places she visualized them What is this called?
Loci system
What are normal results from HLA typing?
HLA typing either by serologic (blood fluid) or DNA methods is reported as the phenotype for each HLA loci tested. The antibody screen test is reported as the percentage of panel reactive antibodies (PRA).
When was Genius Loci - Bernice Summerfield - created?
Genius Loci - Bernice Summerfield - was created in 2006.
