Unit of heredity that passes on traits from parent to offspring?
this is called a inherited trait. If it comes from one parent, it will not show and this is called a recessive trait.
Gregor Mendel concluded that a parent passes of the alleles for a trait to their offspring?
One of the allels for a trait to it's offspring.
What is the principle that each parent passes only one allele for a trait its offspring?
Segregation
When a trait has more than two alleles is that trait inherited?
If one parent has a dominant trait and and another parent has a recessive trait, then the recessive trait gets hidden while the dominant trait gets shown.
What is the probability that a parent carrying a dominant trait will pass that trait on to each child?
The probability that a parent carrying a dominant trait will pass that trait on is a 50% chance with each pregnancy
How does trait happen?
You inherent gene from your parent and they give you trait.
A parent that is homozygous for a dominant trait is crossed with a parent that is homozygous for the recessive trait What percentage of the offspring will display the dominant trait?
100% of the offspring will display the dominant trait because the homozygous dominant parent can only pass on the dominant allele. The offspring will inherit one dominant allele from the dominant parent and one recessive allele from the recessive parent, resulting in a heterozygous genotype expressing the dominant trait.
When the trait has more two alleles how is the trait inherited?
One parent has a recessive trait. For example: One parent has blood type AB, the other has blood type OO.
Why do you have unattached ears?
It is a dominant genetic trait. If you get a gene for it from either parent, you will have this trait.
Features passed from parent to offspring?
Trait
A plant the always produces offspring with the same trait as the parent?
a true breeding plant always produces offspring with the same trait as the parent(s).
How many alleles for one trait can an individual have?
Genotypes consist of two alleles for every trait. You inherit one allele from one parent, and another from the other parent.
