Genetics

58
Q

It is the passing of physical traits from one generation to another.

A

Heredity

59
Q

According to him, all traits are controlled by a pair of alleles.

A

Gregor Mendel

59

Q

It is an individual’s set of chromosomes.

A

Karyotype

60
Q

It is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity.

Law of Dominance

62
Q

Genotype

67
Q

It is any pattern of inheritance wherein traits do not confide in accordance with Mendel’s laws.
