Exam 9: Patterns of Inheritance

______ genes violate Mendel's principle of independent assortment.

In humans,free earlobes (E)are dominant to attached earlobes (e)and the presence of freckles (F)is dominant to the absence of freckles (f). If an individual heterozygous for both of these traits were to mate with an individual with attached earlobes and no freckles,what is the probability of having a child with attached earlobes and freckles?

What name is given to the specific location of a gene on a chromosome?

An individual with the genotype AaBb produces four different gametes in equal proportions.This is a demonstration of ______.

Linked genes are usually

An individual with (naturally)curly hair and an individual with (naturally)straight hair mate; all of their offspring have (naturally)wavy hair. If an individual with wavy hair mates with an individual with straight hair,what is the probability that their child will have curly hair?
