Exam 10: Patterns of Inheritance

In the section "Investigating Life: Heredity and the Hungry Hordes",adult female bollworm moths lay eggs on cotton bolls.These eggs then hatch and grow into caterpillars that eat the seeds of the boll.Eggs and sperm produce by

In the study of genetics the offspring of the P generation is referred to as the

Which gametes can a RrYy plant produce?

Recombinant chromosomes have a mix of paternal and maternal alleles due to

Diagrams of gene order and spacing on chromosomes are

If you cross two pea plants,one with green peas and the other with yellow peas,and all of the offspring have yellow peas,the yellow and green parental plants

The "P" in P generation refers to

If the two alleles for a particular gene are identical the gene pair is

When Mendel crossed short (tt)pea plants with short (tt)pea plants the offspring

The individual sometimes referred to as the "father of genetics" because he influenced the science of genetics more than anyone else is Gregor Mendel.

A monohybrid cross is a mating between two individuals that are both

A male expresses

Genotype means

Which gametes can a RRyy plant produce?

Any dihybrid cross should theoretically yield a 3:1 phenotypic ratio.

For the traits Mendel studied one allele is completely dominant and the other is completely recessive.

To inherit an autosomal dominant disorder a person could receive the disease causing allele from

What information is available inside of the boxes in the figure?

The chromosome that determines human gender is

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