Mendel's law

Question 1

→ Gametes carry only one allele of
each gene
→ One is from dad and one is from
mom
→ explains that during gamete
formation, alleles for each gene segregate, ensuring that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.

Answer 1

Law of Segregation

Question 2

This process allows for genetic variation and ensures that offspring inherit a combination of alleles from both parents, contributing to genetic diversity.

Answer 2

Law of Segregation

Question 3

states that genes for different traits
are inherited independently of each other during gamete formation, as long as they are located on different chromosomes.

Answer 3

Law of Independent Assortment

Question 4

his law applies only if the genes in question are located on different chromosomes, allowing for the random assortment of alleles during gamete formation.

Answer 4

Law of Independent Assortment

Question 5

This process allows for the independent distribution of alleles for different traits, resulting in a wide variety of genetic combinations in offspring.

Answer 5

Law of Independent Assortment

Question 6

a process during which
homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, further increases genetic diversity by
shuffling alleles between
chromosomes.

Answer 6

crossing over

Question 7

Without ———, each
chromosome would contain genes inherited solely from either the mother or the father, resulting in less genetic variation among offspring.

Answer 7

crossing over

Question 8

in the presence of a dominant
allele, its corresponding trait will be expressed. This principle applies to genetic inheritance, where one allele may mask the expression of another allele

Answer 8

Law of Dominance

Question 9

→ dominant allele completely masks
the recessive allele, resulting in the expression of the dominant trait.

Answer 9

Complete Dominance

Question 10

→ traits blend together, producing an
intermediate phenotype.

Answer 10

Incomplete Dominance

Question 11

→ Both alleles are expressed
independently, without blending, resulting in the simultaneous presence of both traits.
→ This allows for the expression of multiple traits without the dominance of one over the other.

Answer 11

Co-dominance

Question 12

→ It always follow Complete
dominance unless stated otherwise
