Who specializes in heredity?
Geneticists specialize in studying heredity, which involves the passing down of traits from parents to offspring. They investigate how genes are inherited, the role of DNA in trait transmission, and how genetic variations contribute to human characteristics and diseases.
How do geneticists develop a human pedigree?
Geneticists develop a human pedigree by collecting detailed information about the family’s genetics, health history, and ancestry. This information helps trace patterns of traits and diseases within the family, which can provide insights into genetic inheritance and risk factors for certain conditions. By documenting multiple generations and relationships, geneticists can create a visual representation of the family tree, which is known as a pedigree.
What is law of dominance and how do traits manifest if it is from a parent with this type of trait?
Mendel's law of dominance states that when two pure breeding organisms of contrasting traits (such as purple flower or white flower) are crossed, only one trait of the pair appears in the F1 generation. This is known as the dominant trait (purple), and the other unexpressed trait (white) is recessive.
What are an individuals expressed traits called?
genotype
Where both traits are fully expressed?
In cases where both traits are fully expressed, it usually means that an individual has two copies of the dominant allele for one trait and two copies of the dominant allele for the other trait. This results in both traits being visibly present in their physical or physiological characteristics.
What is traits covering up other traits called?
A trait that masks another trait is epistatic...the masked trait is hypostatic.

What covers up other traits?
dominant trait
How do geneticists use pedigrees?
Pedigrees are used to determine a family's history of a disease, which can be due to mutation. It is used to tell whether or not a disease in gene is recessive or dominant, sex-based or autosomal.
What genotypes covers up other traits?
dominant trait
What evidence did Mendel find that supported his law of independent assortment?
Different traits are passed on independently of each other.
What did Mendel call the observed trait and the trait that seemed to disappear?
he called the observed traits dominant and the disapear traits recessive.
What is an antomym for trait?
traits
What type's of traits exist?
Cardinal trait Central trait Secondary trait.
Trait in a sentence?
you have some traits in you. Traits do not appear in everyone.
What do you call a trait that is the''weaker'' of two alternative traits?
a recessive trait
The trait observed in the first generation when parents that have different traits are bred?
The trait observed in the first generation when parents with different traits are bred is known as the dominant trait. This trait is expressed in the offspring because it masks the expression of the recessive trait.
