Study Notes
Phenotype of (WWll) Genotype
- The phenotype of an individual with genotype (WWll) is yellow seeds and long ears.
- This genotype represents a dominant allele for seed color (W) and a recessive allele for ear length (l).
Yellow Seed Production in Corn
- An ear of corn must contain at least one dominant allele (W) for yellow color to produce only yellow seeds.
- If an ear of corn is homozygous recessive (ww), it will produce only white seeds.
Offspring Phenotype Probabilities
- A (WwLl) female mating with a (wwll) male has a 25% chance of producing offspring with both dominant phenotypes (yellow seeds and long ears).
Phenotype of (LL) Genotype
- The phenotype of an individual with genotype (LL) is long wings.
- This demonstrates the dominant expression of the long wing allele (L).
Cell Differentiation
- Environmental factors and signaling molecules determine the differentiation of stem cells into various cell types.
Dominant Traits in Humans
- Wet ear wax and long eyelashes are considered dominant traits in humans because they are expressed even when only one copy of the dominant allele is present.
Inference from Shaved Rabbits
- The most likely correct inference from the experiment with the shaved rabbits is that shaving the rabbits did not affect the growth rate of the rabbit's fur.
Cell Future Control
- The process of gene expression controls the future of a cell.
Variability in Genetic Information
- Meiosis plays a more significant role in reproduction by increasing the variability of genetic information, compared to mitosis.
- Meiosis introduces genetic variations through crossing over and independent assortment of chromosomes.
Meiosis I and Allele Combinations
- Meiosis I is important for creating new allele combinations by separating homologous chromosomes.
Genotype Ttrr in a Dihybrid Cross
- The genotype Ttrr in a dihybrid cross Punnett square is described as a homozygous recessive for trait R and heterozygous for trait T.
Chance of No Freckles in Offspring
- Two heterozygous parents (Ff) for freckles have a 25% chance of having a child with no freckles (ff).
