The color of wheat grains shows variability between red and white with multiple phenotypeswhat is the inheritance pattern?
Polygenic inheritance
What are the offspring of sexual reproduction related to their parent?
What could be said is that the offspring will not be identical, genetically or regarding appearance; there will be variation between offspring and their sexually reproducing parents.
What did Mendel's experiments show about blending inheritance?
Blending inheritance was one hypothesis for how traits were passed from one generation to the next. The idea was that if both parents had different traits for a particular character, then the offspring would exhibit a blend of the two traits. For example, if the character in question is flower petal color, and one parent had white flowers and the other had red flowers, the hypothesis of blending inheritance would predict the offspring would have pink flowers, a blend of the two parent traits. In fact, if you cross red and white flowered plants, you do get a pink flower. However, Mendel was able to show that the inheritance of flower color was particulate, not blending, by going one step further and crossing two pink flowered parents. He found the offspring had a ratio of 1:2:1 for red:pink:white, so the granparents' traits were reappearing. This "skipping of generations" was classically Mendelian: the alleles for red and white were both contained in the pink flowers, so that when they were crossed, they were able to be seen in the offspring. In this case, consider that red flowers have the genotype RR (homozygous for R allele), white flowers have the genotype WW (homozygous for the W allele), and pink flowers have the genotype RW (heterozygous), where R and W are two different alleles for flower color. When red (RR) and white (WW) are crossed, the offspring can only get the R allele from the red parent and the W allele from the white parent, so they are all heterozygous (RW), resulting in a pink color. When two pinks are crossed (RW x RW), then each parent can give either a red allele (R) or a white allele (W) to the offspring, resulting in the following equally likely possible combinations: RW, RR, WW, and WR. Since WR and RW are the same (pink), the expected ratio of offspring is 1 RR: 2 RW: 1 WW. This is considered an example of particulate inheritance, not blending inheritance, because the alleles (particles) are being preserved throughout the generations; it is simply the combinations of alleles that give the appearance of a blending inheritance mechanism when red and white are crossed to produce pink. In classical genetics, the first cross between red (RR) and white (WW) was considered the P (parental) generation. The hybrid offspring produced (RW) were considered the first filial generation (F1). Crossing two F1's shows that the inheritance is particulate, by looking at the 1:2:1 ratio in the F2 generation (1 red: 2 pink: 1 white). Mendel was able to deduce the theory of particulate inheritance by carefully following the generations from P to F1 to F2.
What is used to predict the results of offspring between 2 parent plants?
punnett square
What percentage of the offspring in a cross between parents with the genotypes EE and EcEc will exhibit cataracts?
50
How is inheritance pattern between parents and offspring represent diagrammatically?
Inheritance patterns are the predictable patterns seen in the transmission of genes from one generation to the next.
What is the Difference between multiple inheritance and multilevel inheritance in asp.net?
Multiple inheritance, as the name 'multiple' suggests, is one where more than one(multiple) super class is inherited by one sub-class. It can be represented as:A B C\ | /DOn the other hand, in case of multilevel inheritance; the superclass is inherited by a sub-class which is in turn inherited by another class leading to the different level. It can be represented as:A|B|CHowever in asp, multiple inheritance is not supported.
Polygenic inheritance can explain?
Polygenic inheritance is a trait where multiple genes are being used. ex. Height: your neither "short" or "tall" your somewhere in the middle. It's not like pea plants where you are either tall or short. You are a variety. When graphing polygenic inheritance, you will find that there is a bell curve because there are man heights in between tall and short.
Is there a difference between estate being willed to you or inheritance?
No. Property that you receive by a will IS an inheritance. Property received from a relative under the laws of intestacy when there was no will is also an inheritance.
Explain how Mendel's particulate hypothesis is different from the blending hypothesis of inheritance?
Mendel showed in his experiments that inherited traits are not passed through the blending of inheritance theory. According to the blending of inheritance theory, an offspring's traits are a blend between the traits of the parent organisms. In Mendel's experiments however, he showed that this was not true, and that inheritance is actually based on genes, through the observation of recessive traits. He observed that an offspring could have a trait that neither of the parents had, which is now explained through both of the parents having the recessive gene for the trait, but not showing it because they are heterozygous dominant. There is a 25% chance that the offspring of two heterozygous dominant parents will produce a homozygous recessive offspring that will show the trait that neither of the parents shows.
How are tags represented in HTML code?
tags are represented between for eg. ,
What is organismal inheritance?
charcteristics inheritanced between organisms
What is the difference between cytosplasmic and mendelian inheritance?
To make this simple cytoplasmic inheritance is the inheritance of genes in organelles such as mitochondria that do not go through regular mitosis which is Mendelian inheritance. It is a bit more complex than this and can be easily Googled.
The color of wheat grains shows variability between red and white with multiple phenotypeswhat is the inheritance pattern?
Polygenic inheritance
What is a predigree?
A pedigree is a visual chart that shows an organism's lineage, typically used in genetics to track the inheritance of traits over generations. It is a tool to understand the genetic relationships between individuals and can help in predicting the likelihood of certain traits or diseases appearing in future offspring.
If an offspring shows a phenotype that is intermediate between the phenotypes of the parents what is this type of inheritance?
Incomplete dominance can create offspring that display a trait not identical to either parent but intermediate to the two. One example of incomplete dominance is a red flower and a white flower crossbreed to form a pink flower.
What are the offspring of sexual reproduction related to their parent?
What could be said is that the offspring will not be identical, genetically or regarding appearance; there will be variation between offspring and their sexually reproducing parents.
