What type of inheritance pattern is this an example of? Explain. What are examples of selective breeding? What is the definition of genotype? Define gradualism in biology Define natural selection and give an example in biology. Explain how a pedigree is used to determine how a particular h...
Genotype consisting of two identical parts. In peas, a homozygous green seed genotype is represented by GG. 6 Heterozygous Genetically varied at a locus. Genetic tests often reveal heterozygous mutations that can inform about trait inheritance. 7 Homozygous Purebred in genetic terms. A homozygous mou...
Gene editing is a method of selective breeding, a practice as old as our need to grow our own food. Scientists use gene editing technology to make precise changes that allow the incorporation of a favorable genotype and phenotype in one generation, instead of using the traditional method called...
When you cross a homozygous recessive genotype with a homozygous dominant genotype, what is the expected phenotypic and genotypic ratio of the F1 generation? A monohybrid ratio times a monohybrid ratio give a ___ ratio/s. a) trihybrid b) two monohybrid c) dihybrid d) phenotypic monohybrid...
Unlike mutts, hybrid dog breeds are crosses between two or more purebred dogs. To differentiate generations, geneticists use codes like F1, F1b, F2, etc.
Eye colour, or more correctly iris colour, is often used as an example for teaching Mendelian genetics, with brown being dominant and blue being recessive. Colour blindness “Daltonism”, which affects 8% of the male population, is a leading example for teaching X-linked recessive disease (Fig...
Nature is very conservative with the genetic code. Honey bees share a set of generic genes common to all insects for most of their operational systems (and indeed share some with humans). The genetic differences between species are often trivial (for example, the DNA...
