How can you explain the inheritance of sex-linked traits
Sex- linked traits are those where the genes are found on the X
and Y chromosomes. Colorblindness and male pattern baldness are the
most well-known sex-link traits.
Women have two X chromosomes. Men have one X and one Y, but the
Y chromosome has fewer genes than the X. These differences help
account for different patterns of inheritance than non-sex-linked
traits.
Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait
Color blindness is a recessive sex linked trait.
Why do more people have attached rather than unattached earlobes
Cause attached earlobes are the dominant trait. Unattached
earlobes are reccessive.
Why did Mendel study such a large sample of pea plants to determine the probability of inheritance
The more samples you use, the closer your results will match
probability.
A scientist is preparing a punnett square for a dihybrid cross of a plant with a genotype of GGKk. What possible gametes can the plant produce
How are meiosis and mitosis different
mitosis only has to do with celluar reproduction
meiosis has to do with sex cells reproducing
Mitosis creates new cells that are used for development, repair, asexual reproduction and growth. Meiosis creates cells in order for organisms to reproduce sexually.
A plant can have green (G) or yellow (g) leaves. It can also have a long (K) or short (k) stem. A scientist is preparing a Punnett square for a dihybrid cross of a plant with a genotype GGKk. What pos
What is the probability that a father produces a gamete with the allele for attached earlobes if he has one allele for detached earlobes and one allele for attached earlobes
The number of possible genetically different gamete for an organism quals 2n where n is the number of pairs of chromosomes if an organism has six pairs of chromosomes how man different gametes can it
A scientist uses material in her lab to separate dna fragments by size .what process is she using
