letters are used to represent traits for example

capital letters are used to show dominant traits GG-two dominant traits

lower case letters are used to show recessive gg-two recessive traits

Dominant alleles are shown by a capital letter and recessive alleles are lowercase letters.


Describe what genes are and explain what makes a disease genetic?

genes are what make up your DNA. each gene has two alleles, and whether those alleles are dominant or recessive determines what trait you get. Every trait has at least on gene coding for it, and some have more. a disease is genetic when there is a gene coding for it, as opposed to just a mutation or something environmental causing it.


DNA coding regions that affect the same trait are called?

alleles


Is "AUG" a start codon in genetic coding?

Yes, "AUG" is a start codon in genetic coding.


How are alleles represented in genetic inheritance?

Alleles are different forms of a gene that can be inherited from each parent. In genetic inheritance, alleles are represented by letters, with uppercase letters denoting dominant alleles and lowercase letters denoting recessive alleles. Each individual inherits two alleles for each gene, one from each parent, which determine their genetic traits.


Is ATG a start codon in genetic coding?

No, ATG is not a start codon in genetic coding. The start codon is typically AUG.


What is genetic variation measured with?

Variation of quantative characters such as littersize and lifetime reproductive output. Variation in protein sequence. Variation in the non-coding regions of DNA


What controls the genetic characters?

The alleles from the parents.


Where is genetic information located in a cell?

Genetic information is the combining of alleles and their outcome. Chromosomes form alleles and chromosomes are formed inside of a cell.


When the two alleles of a gene are the same, what term is used to describe this genetic condition?

When the two alleles of a gene are the same, this genetic condition is called homozygous.

How are alleles and mutations linked in the context of genetic variation and inheritance?

Alleles are different forms of a gene that can result from mutations. Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that can create new alleles. These new alleles can lead to genetic variation, which can affect inheritance patterns in offspring.
