example in pea plants the color yellow is dominant while the color green is recessive. If one parent has the homozygous genotype for the dominant color yellow and the second parent has the homozygous genotype for the recessive color green the phenotype of the offspring would be yellow. The offspring though would still carry the recessive gene for the color green and the genotype would be heterozygous with the color yellow still being dominant. During inheritance sometimes the allels from each parent

Explain the structure and inheritance of genes (15 marks) A cell’s nucleus contains chromosomes‚ which are long‚ coiled packaged and organized chromatin (molecules of DNA). Chromatin is a complex of molecules found in cells‚ consisting of DNA‚ protein and RNA. Proteins are polypeptides (a large sequence of amino acids). The chief protein component of chromatin are histones‚ which package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes in order to fit in the cell‚ as well as reinforce the

This paper is an attempt to show why it is a mistake to believe that characteristics that are influenced by genes cannot be changed except by modifying genes. Key terms will be explained Genes are how living organisms inherit features from their ancestors; for example‚ children usually look like their parents because they have inherited their parents’ genes. Genetics tries to identify which features are inherited‚ and explain how these features pass from generation to generation. A feature of a

Samples from male subjects were taken and they found that‚ “maltreated boys with low activity genotype were more lo develop antisocial problems later in life than boys with the high activity genotype” (Ducci 335). It is better for males that have a higher active genotype; they

wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris is a soil and seed borne disease affecting chickpea whichis widely distributed where chickpea is grown. It causes yield losses in the range of 12 to 100 % depending on the level of resistance of the genotype and suitability of environmental conditions for disease development. Management of soil borne diseases mainly involves use of preventive measures because it is harder to control the disease once established. Thiram and carbendazim are used in majority

Disruptive selection is when natural selection favors both phenotypes and typically eliminates the middle phenotype; hence‚ you end up with 2 different species. fitness The relative likelihood that a genotype will contribute to the gene pool of the next generation as compared with other genotypes. adaptations The processes and structures by which organisms adjust to changes in their environment. sexual selection A type of natural selection that is directed at certain traits of sexually reproducing
