Chapter 1, Problem 9P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The four questions about the inheritance that arose after Mendel’s rules of inheritance were rediscovered.
Introduction. The pedigree chart helps to depict the complete history of the pattern of inheritance of genetic disease from one generation to another generation. The inheritable genetic disease is either autosomal dominant or recessive or sex-linked based on which the probability of disease in a future generation can be predicted.

State the conclusions reached by Mendel in his work on the inheritance of
characteristics. Explain how each of the following deviates from these
conclusions:
a. Autosomal linkage
b. Sex-linked (X-linked) inheritance
c. Polygenic (multiple-gene) inheritance
Write a short essay that discusses the difference between the more traditional Mendelian and Neomendelian modes of inheritance (qualitative inheritance) and quantitative inheritance.
Discuss how Mendel’s monohybrid results served as the basis for all but one of his postulates. Which postulate was not based on these results? Why?

- Name and briefly explain each of Mendel's principles of inheritance he deduced from his studies of Pisum sativumarrow_forwardWhen 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.arrow_forwardMendel’s observation that two different traits could be inherited independently of each other can be explained by understanding that: During meiosis, the process of chromosome assortment into daughter cells is random Alleles of the genes reside on homologous chromosomes All of the listed choices are correct During meiosis, maternal and paternal members of homologous chromosomes are distributed separately into daughter cellsarrow_forward
- Illustrate Many Extensions to Mendel’s View of Single-Gene Inheritance?arrow_forwardA woman with fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes gives birth to fraternal twins; the father has dark brown skin, dark hair, and brown eyes. One twin has blond hair, brown eyes, and light skin, and the other has dark hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. What Mendelian law does this real-life case illustrate and explain what this means in terms of the inherited alleles for these genes?arrow_forward[ Choose ] The F1 population produced flowers in a 3:1 ration of dominant to recessive traits. The F2 population produced flowers in a 3:1 ration of dominant to recessive traits. Mendel cross-bred F1 plants with F2 plants. Mendel labeled the offspring of the first plants bred F1, for the first filial generation Mendel crossed two identical, true-breeding plants for a particular characteristic. Mendel cross-bred F1 plants with each other. Mendel crossed two contrasting true-breeding plants with two different traits for a given characteristic. Mendel labeled the offspring of the first plants bred F1, for the first flower generation.arrow_forward
