Exam 10: Patterns of Inheritance

Each gamete arises from a diploid cell containing two sets of homologous chromosomes.

A recessive allele is one whose effect is masked if a dominant allele is also present.

Genotypes are the outward expression of an allele combination.

Diagrams depicting family relationships and phenotypes for a genetic disorder are

A pea plant with (Tt)as its genotype should be referred to as

Place the following events in the correct order in which they occur: fertilization,haploid gametes produced,meiosis of diploid cell,and new diploid organism formed.

Of all the people who have studied inheritance,the person who made the most lasting impression on the science of genetics is

In humans,alleles are inherited from

Crossing over is used to create a chromosome map of linked genes to determine the

Sexual reproduction passes on hereditary information through

If X inactivation fails,this is a good thing as it is an error of meiosis.

A gene that has alleles for blue,pink,red,and white flowers is pleiotropic.

Having the alleles Tt is

An allele that exerts its effects whenever it is present is
