5 Questions
True or false: Traits are controlled by heritable factors.
True
True or false: Factors are passed from parent to offspring in reproductive cells.
True
True or false: Paired factors segregate during the formation of reproductive cells so that each reproductive cell gets one of the factors of a pair.
True
True or false: Each individual contains pairs of factors in every cell except reproductive cells.
True
True or false: There is an equal chance that a reproductive cell will get one or the other factor of a pair.
True
Study Notes
Inheritance of Traits
- Traits are controlled by heritable factors.
Transmission of Factors
- Factors are passed from parent to offspring in reproductive cells.
- Paired factors segregate during the formation of reproductive cells, resulting in each reproductive cell receiving one of the factors of a pair.
Distribution of Factors
- Each individual contains pairs of factors in every cell, except for reproductive cells.
- There is an equal chance that a reproductive cell will get one or the other factor of a pair.
