Question 1

Gregor Mendel

Answer 1

Mendel developed three principles of inheritance that described the transmission of genetic traits

Question 2

Rosalind Franklin

Answer 2

The discovery of the structure of DNA

Question 3

Watson & Crick

Answer 3

Watson and Crick were not the discoverers of DNA, but rather the first scientists to formulate an accurate description of this molecule’s complex, double-helical structure.

Question 4

Walter Sutton

Answer 4

an American geneticist and biologist whose most significant contribution to present-day biology was his theory that the Mendelian laws of inheritance

Question 5

Co-Dominance

Answer 5

a type of inheritance where both alleles of a gene are expressed equally. This means that neither allele can block or mask the expression of the other

Question 6

Incomplete Dominance

Answer 6

form of Gene interaction in which both alleles of a gene at a locus are partially expressed

Question 7

Polygenic

Answer 7

Polygenic refers to a trait or characteristic that is influenced by multiple genes. These traits typically exhibit a continuous range of variation rather than distinct categories, and their expression can be influenced by environmental factors as well. Examples of polygenic traits include height, skin color, and intelligence. In polygenic inheritance, each gene contributes a small amount to the overall phenotype, and the interaction between these genes can result in a wide range of phenotypic outcomes.
