| A | B |
|---|
| Lyonization | process of turning off the X chromosome |
| Outcrossing | mating unrelated animals, one or both of which are inbred or linebred |
| pleiotrophy | one gene or set of genes effect multiple traits |
| Negative Assortative | trying to correct the faults in one dog by pairing it with a mate who displays the contrasting virtue |
| Artesia Coli (horses) | Closure of the Colon (recessive) |
| inbreeding | Mating closey related individuals |
| incomplete dominance | heterozygous state produces an intermediate phenotype |
| linebreeding | breeding related individuals who are removed by greater than one generation |
| Positive Assortative | Selection of breeding pair based solely on phenotypic qualities |
| translocation | Rearrangement in which a segment of the chromosome is moved from one location to another |
| chromosomes | stuctures on which genes are located |
| polygenic inheritance | multiple genes are involved, small effect on the trait |
| hybrid vigor | heterozygousity in production of animals |
| phenotype | external visable expression of the genotype |
| Epistasis | gene action where genes at different loci interact |
| genotype | genetic makeup of an individual |
| Alleles | several expressions of a particular gene |
| heterozygous | two alleles are different for trait (Bb) |
| agnostic | behavior elicited during conflict, aggressive |
| homozygous | alleles are the same on particular locus |
