What are the genotypes of the parents in the monohybrid cross below if the following offspring genotypes are predicted?
The offspring in the first column both have two dominant T alleles. Therefore, you know that the father (parent on the left hand side) is TT and the mother (parent on the top) has a dominant T in that column too. The offspring in the second column are Tt. The dominant T came from the father, as figured out in the first part of the problem. The recessive allele t came from mother's second empty box.
The passing of traits from parents to offspring is called?
The passing of traits from parents to offspring is called heredity. Offspring inherit characteristics such as eye color, height, and blood type from their parents through a combination of genetic material from both parents.
Why are ratios so important in understanding how dominant and recessive traits are inherited?
Ratios are important in understanding how dominant and recessive traits are inherited because they provide a quantitative way to measure the likelihood of specific genetic outcomes occurring in offspring. By analyzing ratios of dominant and recessive traits in offspring, genetic patterns and inheritance mechanisms can be better understood and predicted. Ratios help to determine the probability of an offspring inheriting specific traits based on the parents' genotypes.
How do you determine how many offspring will be the dominant color?
You can use a Punnet Square to figure it out. For example, if gray elephants dominate over brown elephants, and you cross 1 homozygous gray elephant (GG) and one homozygous brown elephant (gg), the Punnet square predicts that the offspring will all be heterozygous Gg. They will all be gray, however, because gray dominates over brown.
Does the existence of intermediate forms support or not support the theory of evolution?
The existence of intermediate forms supports the theory of evolution. These transitional forms provide evidence of how species have evolved over time through gradual changes and adaptations. They demonstrate the idea of common ancestry and the gradual development of new species from ancestral ones.
In the late 1800s Mendel predicted the existence of units of hereditary information or factors What do you call these units of hereditary information today?
genes
Which American astronomer in 1905 predicted the existence of Pluto?
It was Lowell
How did Mendel control the variations in the offspring generation?
Mendel did not control them. He simply predicted what characteristics the offspring would inherit.
How did mendel control the variations in the offspring generations?
Mendel did not control them. He simply predicted what characteristics the offspring would inherit.
Astronomers predicted its existence by observing the effects of its gravity.?
Neptune
What two heavenly bodies which were predicted to exist before they were sighted are?
Neptune and Pluto are two heavenly bodies that were predicted to exist before they were sighted. Neptune's existence was predicted based on perturbations in the orbit of Uranus, while Pluto's existence was predicted based on gravitational influences on the orbits of Neptune and Uranus.
Who came up with the element Oxygen?
Mendeleev (or at least predicted its existence)
What is the offspring of tomcat and tabby cat?
You'd need to know the breed of both cats. Even then, the offspring almost always not be what you predicted.
Who first predicted the existence of an atom?
This was the Greek philosopher Leukippus and then his successor Democritus.
Who predicted that the existence of several missing elements?
You think probable to Dimitri Mendeleev.
What are the predicted ratio of ofsprings in a mating of AAA and AAA?
The predicted ratio of offspring in a mating of AAA and AAA would be 100% AAA. Since both parents have the same genotype, all of their offspring will inherit the same genotype.
Astronomers predicted the existence and orbit of Neptune based on?
Astronomers predicted the existence and orbit of Neptune based on discrepancies in the orbit of Uranus. These discrepancies suggested the gravitational influence of another planet beyond Uranus, leading to the discovery of Neptune in 1846.
