How do traits get inherited?
Through genetics, you have two alleles(different versions for a gene) for each gene, one from each parent
How does probability apply to heredity?
Probability applies to heredity with the inheritance of certain genes and alleles that together make up heredity. The question has to do with probability in that each parent cell can contribute one half of its genes. Because it splits through meiosis a parent cell can have one of two parts. The other parent cell has the same possibility of splits. Therefore, one half times one half is one fourth. That is the probability of each gene being passed on.
Suppose that each year one half of the population have two offspring per person and the other half have none If all members die after one year what is the resulting growth rate?
i think it will stay the same each year
What does the rate in which the second quantity in the comparison is one unit mean?
It is called the unit rate and gives the number of the first unit for each one in the second.
What is the lenght of one side of a cube with a surface area of 1350?
Each side measures 15. Divide the known surface area by 6... this gives you the area of one side. The square root of the area of one side will give you the length of each side.
Each parent gives one set of what to the offspring?
chromosomes.
Each parent gives one set of these the offspring?
genes
What proportion of each parent plant's genetic material does each offspring plant have?
Each offspring plant receives 50% of its genetic material from each parent plant. This is because offspring inherit one set of chromosomes from each parent during sexual reproduction.
Each parent gives one allele for each?
During sexual reproduction, each parent contributes one allele for each gene to the offspring. This results in the offspring inheriting a unique combination of alleles from both parents, which determines the traits and characteristics they will have.
What percent of each alleles does each parent contribute to their offspring?
50% from each parent: one allele in each gene, each parent, for a total of two.
Describe one way which the plantain can reproduce?
Some protists also can reproduce in pairs. Each member of the pair gives some hereditary material to the offspring. The ofspring are different from either parent. Hereditary refers to properties that are passed from parent to offspring.
How many genes does an offspring receive from each parent for a trait?
An offspring typically receives one copy of a gene for a trait from each parent, resulting in two copies of the gene in total. This is known as Mendelian inheritance, where an offspring inherits one allele from the mother and one allele from the father for a specific trait.
How many variants of a gene can an offspring have?
One from each parent
Are all genes passed on from each parent to each child?
Only half of each parent's alleles are passed to their children. This means that parent 1 who is Aa at one gene locus will only pass A or a on to each offspring. Parent 2 may be AA, aa or Aa and will also only pass one allele on to each offspring.
How many chromosomes does each offspring have?
Each offspring receives half of their chromosomes from each parent, resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes in humans, or a varying number in other species.
How are the 2 forms of a gene distributed to the offspring?
The two forms of a gene, one from each parent, are distributed to offspring during meiosis when sex cells are formed. Each parent contributes one allele of a gene to the offspring, determining the genetic make-up and traits of the offspring.
What alleles do the f1 offspring have and why?
The F1 offspring inherit one allele from each parent. This is because each parent donates one allele during sexual reproduction, ensuring genetic diversity in the offspring. The F1 offspring will have a combination of alleles from both parents, leading to unique genetic variations.
