What is the broad sense heritability equation and how does it contribute to understanding the genetic basis of a trait?
The broad sense heritability equation is a statistical measure that estimates the proportion of variation in a trait that is due to genetic factors within a population. It helps researchers understand the extent to which genetics influence a trait compared to environmental factors. By quantifying the genetic contribution to a trait, the broad sense heritability equation provides insights into the genetic basis of that trait.
A genetic factor that covers up another genetic factor is called?
A dominant trait is a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor. A recessive trait is a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant fact
What is a genetic cross with one trait?
Crosses involving one gene or trait are called monohybrid crosses.
A trait which always appears when it is present is called what kind of trait?
A trait that always appears when it is present is called an obligate trait. This means that the trait is consistently expressed whenever the underlying genetic or environmental conditions are present.
What is the definition of an offspring that was given different genetic information for a trait from each parent called?
An individual with different genetic information for a trait from each parent is called a hybrid. Hybrid offspring inherit a combination of genetic traits from their parents, resulting in a unique genetic makeup.
Natural selection can only act upon a certain trait if the trait is?
Heritable, meaning that it can be passed down from one generation to the next through genetic inheritance. Without a genetic basis, natural selection would not be able to change the frequency of that trait in a population over time.
What is it called when the genome of an organism can be manipulated to produce a desired trait?
Genetic Engineering
What is it called when a trait is being passed down from one generation to the other?
genetic
Can you catch sickle cell trait from kissing?
No, sickle cell trait is a genetic condition that is inherited from one's parents and is not spread through kissing or any other form of casual contact. It is important to understand the genetic basis of sickle cell trait and discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider.
Why do huskies have blue eyes?
Huskies can have blue eyes due to a genetic trait called heterochromia, which causes variations in eye color. This trait is common in huskies and is a result of their genetic makeup.
A characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring?
skin color eye color hair color same way of acting ect.
A genetic trait which is present but unseen in an individual is called a trait?
Recessive For example, brown eyes (B) are dominant, blue eyes (b) are recessive. BB = brown Bb = brown bb = blue In the Bb genotype, the blue eyed gene is present, but the brown eyed gene is dominant, and show as the phenotype
