1) Define phenotype.
2) Explain six different mechanisms that facilitate non-Mendelian phenotypic
frequencies
3) Describe the two different kinds of incomplete dominance and their repercussions
in terms of phenotypes
4) Compare quantitative and epistatic traits by way of underlying mechanism
5) Explain how pleiotropic effects might arise
6) Explain how environment can affect estimates of heritability
7) Describe maternal effects and their potential importance to evolution by natural
selection
