What is the phenotype for YySs?

The phenotype for YySs would depend on the specific traits controlled by the Y and S genes. Without knowing the specific traits and their dominance or recessiveness, it is not possible to determine the exact phenotype. Each allele (Y and S) will contribute to the overall phenotype in conjunction with any other alleles present at the respective loci.


What are the difference of mendelian genetics and non-mendelian genetics?

In Mendelian inheritance the allele has a one to one effect on the phenotype. A polygenic effect is given when many genes contribute in an additive fashion to the phenotype. Height is such and may have as many as eight genes contributing to the effect. Behavior is also of this type. Eye color is more Mendelian in nature.


How can one determine the recombination frequency between two genetic loci?

To determine the recombination frequency between two genetic loci, one can analyze the frequency of crossover events that occur during meiosis. By studying the inheritance patterns of alleles located at the two loci in a population, researchers can calculate the recombination frequency as the percentage of offspring that show a recombination of alleles. This frequency is a measure of the distance between the two loci on a chromosome.


Word describing the two chromosomes in a pair that have genes that code for the same traits?

Homologous chromosomes carry genes for the same traits at corresponding loci. They are similar in size and shape and are inherited from each parent.


How can two plants have different genotypes having the same phenotype?

The simplest way that two plants can have different genotypes, but the same phenotype, is if they both have a dominant allele for the same trait. For example, the genotypes Pp and PP, will both produce the phenotype created by P (for example, pink coloured petals). This is because P is dominant to p, and will always be expressed. Other ways that the same phenotype can be created from different genotypes are when the environment affects the traits, or when the trait is controlled by more than one gene.

What is a heterozygous phenotype?

Having different alleles at one or more corresponding chromosomal loci. Like people who are resistant to sickle-cell anaemia.


What member of a pair or series of genes that occupies a specific position on a specific chromosome is referred to?

The position is called locus (plural: loci).


What are the 4 loci's?

There are infinitely many loci. So the answer depends on which 4 locis you mean.Incidentally, it should not be "loci's" which means belong to the loci.

What are normal results from HLA typing?

HLA typing either by serologic (blood fluid) or DNA methods is reported as the phenotype for each HLA loci tested. The antibody screen test is reported as the percentage of panel reactive antibodies (PRA).
