### Understanding Mendelian Inheritance in Diploid Individuals#### Instructions:**Read each statement carefully. Select all of the statements below that are true (that you agree with). Leave any statements that are false (that you do not agree with) unselected.**#### Statements:1. **A diploid individual receives two copies of every autosome from the previous generation.**2. **For every autosomal gene inherited by an individual, both copies can come from one parent.**3. **A diploid individual gives two copies of every autosome to a child in the next generation.**4. **To be diploid means that two independent genes are specified in the individual's genotype.**---In understanding these statements, it is important to note the following insights regarding Mendelian genetics and the nature of diploid organisms:- **Diploid Organisms:** In diploid organisms, each individual inherits one set of autosomes from each parent, resulting in two copies of each autosome.- **Gene Inheritance:** Genes located on autosomes follow Mendelian inheritance patterns where each parent contributes one allele for each gene.- **Gamete Formation:** During the formation of gametes (sperm and eggs), each gamete receives one copy of each autosome, not two.- **Definition of Diploid:** The term "diploid" refers to having two complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, and this encompasses the entire genome, not just independent genes.For a deeper understanding of these genetic principles, students are encouraged to revisit foundational genetic concepts and Mendelian inheritance patterns.
