| incomplete dominance | This is the production of a phenotype that is intermediate between the two heterozygous parents |
| polygenetic inheritance | This occurs when a group of gene pairs acts together and produces a specific trait, such as human eye color, skin color, or height |
| sex linked gene | This is an allele on a sex chromosome and that can cause human genetic disorders such as color blindness and hemophilia |
| recessive | This describes a trait that is covered over by another form of that trait and seems to disappear (blue eyes in humans) |
