A company that offers PGD terms an embryo “normal and healthy” if it has 46 chromosomes. Why is this statement misleading? , Two famous male actors had twins using a surrogate mother who carried two embryos that hadbeen fertilized in vitro, one with one man’s sperm and the other with the other man’s sperm. In terms of genetics, how closely are the babies, a boy and a girl, related to each other if they have different fathers?
Is Punnett square is used to predict possible genetic outcomes
Which of the following describes the difference between genetic maternal
effect and cytoplasmic inheritance?
O Progeny from a Genetic Maternal Effect cross express the phenotype of their
mother's genotype, while progeny from a cytoplasmic inheritance cross share a
genotype and phenotype of their mother.
Progeny from a Genetic Maternal Effect cross have a phenotype that reflects their
own genotype, while progeny from a cytoplasmic inheritance cross share a
genotype and phenotype with their mother.
Progeny from a Genetic Maternal Effect cross have the same genotype as their
mother, while progeny from a Cytoplasmic Inheritance cross do not.
There is no difference.
