Monohybrid cross

Inheritance of a single gene with two alleles

F₂ phenotypic ratio in complete dominance

3:1

Heterozygote phenotype in incomplete dominance

Intermediate between two homozygous phenotypes

Codominance vs incomplete dominance

Both alleles expressed vs blended intermediate phenotype

F₂ ratio for dihybrid cross of unlinked genes

9:3:3:1

Sex linkage

Genes present on the X chromosome

Hemizygous

Having only one allele (males for X-linked genes)

Multiple alleles in diploid individual

Can only carry two alleles (one from each parent)

Epistasis

Two+ genes interact to influence single phenotype

Chi-squared test purpose

Evaluates if observed data differ significantly from expected
