Stores and transmits genetic information?
the information transfer from generation to generation is through DNA molecules.the genetic information present in the DNA.and the DNA is present in the gene cells.these transfer the information from cell to cell
Why would a typical testcross be a difficult way to determine the genotype of of a cow?
Cows only produce one to two offspring at a time and often per year and give birth to an average of 10 to 15 calves per lifetime, which is not enough to make any accurate decisions based on genetic tests done on that one particular cow. In order to have a successful test cross, you need at least 10 offspring per parturition.
Why does sexual reproductive increase the genetic variation in a species?
Since the egg and sperm have one half of the chromosomes of other cells really recombining these two give a different individual. The new individual has one half of the chromosomes from the egg and one half from the sperm. So this increases the genetic variation in the species. We are not clones of each other. Only identical twins are.
The genetic mutation that led to sickle cell anemia can also give its carriers protection from which what diseases?
malaria
The passing of traits from parent to offspring?
The passing of traits form parent to offspring is called heredity give this answer to my science teacher mrs.roachThe passing of traits from parents to offspring is called heredity.
What is the probability of each of the following sets of parents producing the give genotypes in their offspring?
Each parent contributes 50% of the genetic make-up of the offspring.
What percentage of offspring will have short beaks?
To determine the percentage of offspring with short beaks, you would need to know the genetic traits involved, including whether the trait is dominant or recessive, and the genotypes of the parents. For example, if short beaks are a recessive trait and both parents are heterozygous, 25% of the offspring would typically express the short beak phenotype. Without specific genetic information, it's impossible to give an accurate percentage.
How can you use the concept of genetic inheritance to disprove Lamark's idea of the inheritance of acquired characteristics?
Lamarck's theory is disproved through many different examples of acquired characteristics. Anything that happens to a parent would be passed on to the offspring. Acoording to Lamarck, a parent that has tattoos would pass on the tattoos to the offspring. Loss of limb, injuries, cosmetic surgery or anything that changed in the parents would manifest in the offspring. This is not the case. Acquired characteristics are not passed on to offspring unless they change the gene sequence of the sex cells. Parents do not give physical characteristics to offspring, but do give the coding for those characteristics. The gene passes on the trait.
How can dwarf parents give birth to normal offspring?
Yes
What Traits that appear to blend are the result of?
Traits that appear to blend are often the result of genetic variation from both parents. This blending of traits occurs during the process of genetic recombination and inheritance, where offspring inherit a combination of genetic material from each parent. This can lead to a mixture of traits from both parents, resulting in a unique combination in the offspring.
What sexual reproduction give species?
Sexual reproduction allows for genetic diversity in a species by combining the genetic material of two individuals to create offspring with unique combinations of traits. This diversity increases the chances of survival and adaptability in changing environments. Additionally, it can help eliminate harmful mutations and increase the overall fitness of the population.
How do the offspring of sexually reproducing organisms receive DNA from both parents?
it comes from the actual organism that is trying to reproduce asexually. asexual reproduction is like cloning almost. like in bacteria they go through binary fission which is also asexual reproduction. There genes are duplicated and then the offspring is budded off in a sense. the only way to get genetic variation is through mutations in their DNA.
Could a parent with Down syndrome give their offspring Down syndrome?
As the disease is genetic, DS women have nearly a 50% chance of passing on DS to their offspring if the father does not have DS.
What is it called when two parents give rise to offspring that have a unique set of genes?
sexual reproduction
A form of genetic engineering in which plants or animals are selected to breed and give offspring with desirable characteristics is known as?
Selective Breeding
