some traits are more common and getpast on easier

There are dominant and recessive traits-

Each person has 2 copies of a gene that codes for a certain trait-this is called the genotype (one from mom and one from dad)

Whichever trait is Dominant will be expressed- or passed on to you-

for instance darker pigments are usually dominant over lighter pigments so if a person has genes for blue and brown eyes- they will most probably have brown

fair skin or dark skin- probably dark

red hair or black hair- black

List the types of traits that exist?

There are physical traits, such as hair or eye color, and behavioral traits, like shyness or aggressiveness. Additionally, there are inherited traits, which are passed down from parents, and acquired traits, which are learned or developed through experiences.


Why do some traits show more than others?

Some traits show more prominently than others due to genetic dominance, environmental factors, and gene expression patterns. Dominant traits are more likely to be expressed in offspring, while recessive traits may be masked. Environmental factors may also influence trait expression, causing some traits to be more noticeable than others. Additionally, variations in gene expression can affect how prominently a trait is displayed.


What is one difference between tracing the inheritance of autosomal traits and tracing the inheritance of sex-linked traits?

One key difference is that autosomal traits are located on the autosomes (non-sex chromosomes), while sex-linked traits are located on the sex chromosomes (X or Y). This difference affects how these traits are inherited and expressed, as sex-linked traits show different inheritance patterns among males and females.


Are many undesirable traits in humans recessive?

the term recessive traits referrs to genetics there are no bad traits recessive traits are the ones that are less likely to show up such as lleft handedness dominate traits are things like eye color,the color of your hair and skin etc


Mendel accounted for the observation that traits which had disappeared in the F1 generation reappeared in the F2 generation by proposing that?

Mendel proposed the concept of dominant and recessive traits, where recessive traits are masked in the F1 generation but can reappear in the F2 generation when two carriers of the recessive trait combine and show the trait. This is known as the Law of Segregation, where pairs of alleles separate during gamete formation, leading to the reemergence of hidden traits.

What model is used to show the pattern of pattern of traits that are passed from one generation to the next in a family?

The model used to show the pattern of traits passed from one generation to the next in a family is a pedigree chart. This chart displays the inheritance of traits and helps to track genetic patterns within a family over multiple generations.

What does Mendel's hypothesis of inheritance state?

i dont know all about it but he says that the mother and the father both pass genes to their offspring even though they may not show for example their fathers blue eyes but they show their mothers green eyes. the blue eyes is a recessive gene they will pass to their offspring. so it may skipa generation and come back because the offspring carry that gene. no gene is lost until it has passed 2 generations without a mother or father having it of the offspring have it.
