Mendelian
What percentage of genetic information is passed on from each parent to their offspring
50% from each parent
What is the genotype of the offspring
Aa
What is an allele?
An alternative form of a gene.
Why do all offspring have brown fur
Because the allele for brown for color is dominant
What is the name of the haploid cells that carry genetic information from each parent
Gametes
The law of independent assortment states that
Genes segregate independently during gamete formation
What is a hybrid?
Offspring of crosses between parents with different traits
What is the gene color for blindness represented by
Red section
What does it mean when a trait is independent of another trait
The inheritance of a trait does not affect the inheritance of another trait
Through this experiment he realize that the inheritance of the seed color did not affect the inheritance of the seed shape he then called this occurrence
The law of independent assortment
During gamete formation two alleles will end up in different gametes due to
The law of segregation
What is the phenotype of an individual
The observable characteristics
What is the genotype of an individual
They are genes
Why do all offspring have the same fur color
They have the same genes for each allele
Look at the offspring of the mice from the past that we performed how many brown and Black mice are there
Three brown one black
How do we represent dominant and recessive alleles
Upper case letters for dominant, lowercase letters for recessive alleles
Knowing that Joseph is colorblind what is its genotype
