Mendel believed that during the formation of gametes the pair of genes controlling a trait separate He called this the principle of?
Mendel believed in the principle of separation. This occurs during the formation of gametes and the pair of genes that control a trait separate.
What does Gregor Mendel's first law of heredity-the law of segregation-state about genes?
Two alleles for a trait separate when gametes are formed.
Terms in genetics?
The link below will help you get started with this question. There are many terms:
Genes carry the information that determines what?
Genes determine what gender you are, what hair color you have, what eye color, how tall you are... For more infornmation on how genes were discovered Google Gregor Mendel.
Which is a mendelian trait?
A trait controlled by many genes
Which trait did mendel identifying certain genes?
dominance
Mendel believed that during the formation of gametes the pair of genes controlling a trait separate He called this the principle of?
Mendel believed in the principle of separation. This occurs during the formation of gametes and the pair of genes that control a trait separate.
What is a principle or law of heredity which states that for each trait there are two copies of the gene or genes that are responsible for the trait?
Mendel's Law Of Segregation
Two different genes for a certain trait?
Hybrid
Based on his experiments Mendel concluded that each trait was controlled by two?
invisible "factors" - now called genes.
Where genes for a certain trait are located?
these are selected on the gene locus on a DNA.
How is the gene involved in sickle cell anemia different from the genes for pea plants' traits that Mendel studied?
One gene controlled one trait within Mendel's study, but the sickle cell anemia effects more than one trait.
What does Gregor Mendel's first law of heredity-the law of segregation-state about genes?
Two alleles for a trait separate when gametes are formed.
What did Mendel make to determine if certain trait forms and their alleles were inherited together.?
Dihybrid crosses
Mendel made to determine if certain trait forms and their alleles were inherited together.?
dihybrid crosses
What did mendel call the trait that always showed up?
Mendel called the trait that was always expressed the dominant trait.
What are Mendel's factors today called?
For him they were just discrete physical units of inheritance. Johanson coined the term "gene" and people started calling them genes. Today for us these factors are parts of DNA, the base sequences that carry the biological information to determine a trait. Mendel factors are alleles of genes.
