IMED2004 Study Guide - Final Guide: Epigenetics, Y Chromosome, Pleiotropy
Document Summary
We can epigenetically modify various parts of chr. = which can mask expression of gene. The study of environmental influences on gene expression that occur without a dna change. Influences on gene expression that occur without a dna change. Caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself. Three or more forms of a gene that code for a single trait. A gene that has more than two alleles. Three or more alleles of the same gene. Situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another allele. A pattern of inheritance in which two alleles. Inherited from the parents, are neither dominant nor recessive. The resulting offspring have a phenotype that is a blending of the parental traits. Cases in which one allele is not completely dominant over another. A condition in which neither of two alleles of a gene is dominant or recessive. Both alleles for a gene are fully expressed.
