Define genotype and phenotype. How to determine parental genotypes from offspring phenotypes? Why is a person's phenotype harder to predict than his or her genotype? How are alleles related to the phenotype? Describe how to use the phenotype ratios to determine the percentage of offspring displayin...
What is the difference between phenotype and genotype, and how are they related? What is the relationship between genes and alleles? What is the difference between a genotype and an allele? How do multiple alleles affect the number of genotypes and phenotypes that can be produced? How does gen...

Inherited genes interact and influence each other. These interactions mean that phenotypes don't always match the expected outcome of the dominant allele vs. recessive allele model predicted by Punnett squares. How to Use a Punnett Square Before a Punnett square can be used, the genotypes for eac...
In prokaryotes,horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the introduction of genetic material from one organism to another organism within the same generation, is an important way to introduce genetic diversity. HGT allows even distantly related species to share genes, influencing their phenotypes. It is though...
This project aims at investigating the link between individual epigenetic variability (not related to genetic variability) and the variation of natural environmental conditions. We studied DNA methylation polymorphisms of individuals belonging to a single genetic lineage of the clonal diploid fish Chrosomus...
Keywords: covariates; unaffected; linkage analysis; Maximum-Likelihood-Binomial; logistic residuals; mixed model Introduction Model-free linkage studies are increasingly used to investi- gate the genetic factors implicated in complex traits since they do not require any specification of the underlying ...
they can overcome several problems related to passive approaches such as correspondence problems (i.e., the problem of ascertaining which parts of one image correspond to which parts of another image, where differences are due to movement of the camera, the progress of time, and/or movement of...
How do imprinted genes affect offspring? How does synapsis increase genetic variability? How can an offspring inherit a recessive trait? What is an autosomal DNA match? What is an autosomal-linked trait? Explain how genotypes and phenotypes of the parents and offspring can be related to the inde...
A man with type O blood has a sister with type AB blood. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of their parents? What is infectious heredity, and how does it work? What possible traits can be passed down to offspring? How do sexual recombination and random mutation in gametes cause g...
