Meghan Methe B-block 11.14.12 Chapter 8 Heredity and Genetic Variation (Objectives) pg. 192-221 Questions: 1. The role of genes in heredity is to carry the traits for the making of DNA. 2. The law of probability says that each chance of probability is equal in the sense of the possible outcomes of the traits present. 4. Dominant masks the recessive which in situations where both trait alleles are present in a gene the organism would be heterozygous and the dominant allele
