Phenotype - Answer: Observable traits or characteristics of an individual.
Genotype - Answer: Alleles an individual has for a trait.
Polygenic Trait - Answer: Trait influenced by multiple genes.
High Cholesterol - Answer: Condition involving three genes affecting levels.
Alleles - Answer: Different versions of a gene for a trait.
Heterozygous Genotype - Answer: Genotype with two different alleles (Ff).
Homozygous Dominant - Answer: Genotype with two dominant alleles (FF).
Homozygous Recessive - Answer: Genotype with two recessive alleles (ff).
Cystic Fibrosis - Answer: Disorder caused by a mutated membrane protein.
Dominant Allele - Answer: Allele that masks the effect of a recessive allele.
Recessive Allele - Answer: Allele that is masked by a dominant allele.
Punnett Square - Answer: Tool used to predict inheritance of traits.
Trait Inheritance - Answer: Determined by alleles from both parents.
Chromosomes - Answer: Structures carrying alleles inherited from parents.

, Phenotype Distribution - Answer: Graphical representation of phenotypes in a
population.
Gene Interaction - Answer: How multiple genes influence a single trait.
Cystic Fibrosis Alleles - Answer: F for normal protein, f for mutated protein.
Abnormal Mucus Build-up - Answer: Result of dysfunctional membrane protein in Cystic
Fibrosis.
Normal Phenotype - Answer: Phenotype without Cystic Fibrosis (FF genotype).
Cystic Fibrosis Phenotype - Answer: Presence of thick mucus in respiratory tract.
Inheritance Prediction - Answer: Challenging for polygenic traits due to complexity.
Genotype Representation - Answer: Letters used to symbolize alleles for traits.
Allele Inheritance - Answer: One allele from mother, one from father.
Trait Complexity - Answer: Most human traits involve multiple genetic factors.
Mutation - Answer: Change in DNA sequence affecting protein function.
Graphical Annotation - Answer: Marking locations of individuals based on genotypes.
Trait Variation - Answer: Differences in traits due to genetic diversity.
Genetic Disorders - Answer: Conditions resulting from mutations in genes.
