5703033368 | Complete dominance | The offspring always looked like one of the two parental variety because one allele in the pair showed __________ | 15 | |
5703033369 | Incomplete dominance | Three or more potential varieties from crossing tow parents | 16 | |
5703033370 | Co-dominance | Two alleles each affect the phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways | 17 | |
5703033372 | Epistasis | the phenotypic expression of a gene a one locus alters that of a gene at a second locus | 18 | |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
