Why don't fathers pass on mitochondrial DNA to their offspring?
Fathers do not pass on mitochondrial DNA to their offspring because mitochondria, which contain the DNA, are only inherited from the mother's egg cell. Sperm cells do not contribute mitochondria to the offspring during fertilization.
When the two haploid gametes contain two different alleles of a given gene the resulting offspring is called?
A heterozygote. An organism with the same alleles at a locus is called a "homozygot".
How do chromosome pairs contribute to genetic inheritance and variation in offspring?
Chromosome pairs contain genes that determine traits in offspring. During reproduction, each parent contributes one chromosome from each pair, creating genetic variation in the offspring. This process allows for a mix of traits from both parents to be passed on to the next generation.
There is a 50 percent chance the genotype of the offspring will contain a dominant geneCould this count as a correct way to explain the outcome of a punnet square?
No. The punnet square should yield 75% dominant. If the sides of the square are A and a versus A and a, capital A meaning the dominant gene, which expresses over the recessive gene "a" whenever it is present, then the possible outcomes in the square are: AA, Aa. aA, and aa. Three out of four, or 75%, are dominant.
What carries genes from parents to offspring?
Genes are carried from parents to offspring through the reproductive cells, such as sperm and egg cells. These cells contain the genetic information that is passed on to the next generation during the process of fertilization.
Do molecules contain atoms that are not combined with each other?
No, by definition.
How do chromosomes and genes play a role in the genetic variation of offspring?
DNA contain many genes. and with 2 different parents with many different genes and traits of their own, the number of possible combination is enormous
What do chromosomes have to do with genetics?
Chromosomes contain the genes of an organism which are what express traits and are passed on to offspring
What chemical combined make sugar?
Sugars contain C, H and O.
How many chromosomes dose each parent pass to their offspring?
When a parent is going to have an offspring the offspring only gets half a chromosome from each parent, they combine to make one chromosome then that chromosome gets copied until there are 23 pairs of chromosome's. This is how you get your features.
If a dominant homozygous reproduced with a heterozygous could their offspring be recessive?
Let's see what combinations can be formed.HH, HH, Hh, Hh.So, yes their offspring can contain the recessive allele.(THe offspring can be a carrier of the recessive allele.)However, since it is impossible for the offspring to be homozygous recessive,the recessive trait/gene will not show in the offspring's phenotype.Hope that helps!
What does database record entry contain?
it can contain as many people as possible
Why can't cockroaches have twins?
Most cockroaches lay eggs that contain individual pockets for multiple offspring. While a cockroach may not have twins, most of their offspring will look alike.
What type of cell must contain a mutation in order for the mutation to be passed from a women to her offspring?
The mutation must be present in the egg cell (oocyte) of the woman in order for it to be passed on to her offspring. Sperm cells from the father do not contain the cytoplasm that would carry the mutation.
Why don't fathers pass on mitochondrial DNA to their offspring?
Fathers do not pass on mitochondrial DNA to their offspring because mitochondria, which contain the DNA, are only inherited from the mother's egg cell. Sperm cells do not contribute mitochondria to the offspring during fertilization.
How does its genotype differ from the non-circled offspring?
The circled offspring's genotype will contain the specific genetic traits that were circled or highlighted in their genetic makeup. In contrast, the non-circled offspring's genotype will not have those specific circled genetic traits. This indicates that the circled offspring has inherited or carries those highlighted traits, while the non-circled offspring does not.
Is it possible for the majority of a graph to contain the largest weighted edge?
Yes, it is possible for the majority of a graph to contain the largest weighted edge.
