Mendel's finding that the inheritance of one trait had no effect on the inheritance of another became known as the?

law of dominance


The study of how genes are transferred from the parents to their children is known as?

The study of how genes are transferred from parents to their offspring is known as genetics. Genetics is a branch of biology that focuses on the inheritance of traits and the molecular mechanisms behind this inheritance.


What did Darwin not know about his theory of evolution?

Darwin did not know about the role of genetics in inheritance, as Gregor Mendel's work on inheritance was not known to Darwin in his lifetime. Additionally, he did not have knowledge of the mechanism of heredity through DNA and genes.


How does the mode of inheritance affect the prediction and analysis of inheritance patterns?

The mode of inheritance (e.g., autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive) determines the likelihood of passing on a genetic trait to offspring and influences the probability of inheritance in a family. Understanding the mode of inheritance is crucial in predicting the risk of inheriting a specific trait or disorder, as well as in genetic counseling and family planning. Inheritance patterns can be more easily analyzed and predicted when the mode of inheritance is known, aiding in the identification and management of genetic conditions within families.


What is the relationship between two different genes for a trait in genetic inheritance?

The relationship between two different genes for a trait in genetic inheritance is known as gene interaction. This interaction can result in different patterns of inheritance, such as dominant-recessive or co-dominant traits, which determine how the genes are expressed in an individual.
