Concept explainers

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

Consider an animal with genotype F/f. The possible gametes produced by this individual may be ½ F and ½ f. Choose the correct answer below. The explanation for the possible gametes produced is Mendel’s first law, of equal segregation. The explanation for the possible gametes produced is Mendel’s second law, of independent assortment. The explanation for the possible gametes produced is BOTH Mendel’s first law, of equal segregation AND Mendel’s second law, of independent assortment. The explanation for the possible gametes produced is NEITHER Mendel’s first law, of equal segregation NOR Mendel’s second law, of independent assortment.

According to Mendel's principal of segregation, what is segregating in this cell? 2. According to Mendel's principle of independent assortment, what is independently assorting in this cell? 3.

When Gregor Mendel was working in the mid 1800s, scientists had not yet discovered chromosomes or meiosis. However, we now understand how Mendel's principles are rooted in the events of meiosis. As an example of this, state Mendel's principle of independent assortment and explain how it relates to independent assortment in meiosis.
In Mendel’s law of segregation, a diploid cell has select answer copies of every gene that occur on its homologous chromosomes. Alleles at any locus are distributed into separate gametes during meiosis. Collectively these statements make up Mendel’s select answer .

This question deals with Mendelian Genetics. Read each part carefully before you answer it. In the following questions, assume green pea pods are dominant over yellow pea pods. a) If a pea plant that is Heterozygous for pod color is crossed with a pea plant with yellow pods, what do you expect to see in the offspring (the f1 generation)? Specifically, what genotypes, what phenotypes, and in what ratios? (Use G for the green pod gene and g for the yellow pod gene.) (It is usually helpful to write out all the possible genotypes and give the phenotype for each genotype before answering the specific question.)
