Study Notes
Question 1
- A dihybrid cross involves crossing two traits with different alleles in heterozygous individuals
- The cross is between a heterozygous round yellow pea plant and a double recessive plant
- The cross is used to determine the genotype and phenotype of the progeny
- The principle of Mendel illustrated is the law of independent assortment
- The genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring can be predicted using a Punnett square.
Question 2
- The problem describes the inheritance of traits in dogs
- The traits are barking (dominant) and silent (recessive), erect and drooping ears (dominant and recessive)
- The question asks about the phenotypic ratios from a cross of heterozygous dogs
- Using a Punnett square, each trait is analyzed independently
- The expected phenotypic ratio resulting from the cross is 9:3:3:1
Question 3
- Dominance occurs when the dominant allele masks the recessive allele in the heterozygote
- Co-dominance occurs when there is a blending of traits from the dominant and recessive alleles.
- Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele does not completely mask the recessive allele, resulting in an intermediate.
- Example traits can be given but may require context to understand fully
Question 4
- A dihybrid cross involves crossing heterozygous traits in a plant
- This is a cross between a heterozygous tall yellow pea plant and a double recessive plant.
- The cross is used in genetics to determine the genotype and phenotype of the offspring
- The principle of Mendel illustrated is the law of independent assortment
- By use of a Punnett square, the expected genotypes and phenotypes of the progeny can be determined.
