particulate nature. These determinants are called genes. Each parent has a gene pair in each cell for each trait studied. The F1 from a cross of two pure lines contains one allele for the dominant phenotype and one for the recessive phenotype. These two alleles comprise the gene pair. One member of the gene pair segregates into a gamete‚ thus each gamete only carries one member of the gene pair. Gametes unite at random and irrespective of the other gene pairs involved.(Carlson) The purpose of this lab

Skin color in humans‚ many genes determine the skin color and offspring is expected to express an intermediate phenotype When products of many genes influence a trait‚ individuals of a population show a range of continuous variation. Environmental Impact on Phenotype The environment has an impact on the phenotype of an individual

The Causes of Disease in Humans Diseases can be caused in humans in many a way. Some diseases may be pathogenic some may be caused by a lifestyle choice of an individual or an individual surrounding them‚ or some may be genetic. Pathogens are micro-organisms which cause disease some bacteria‚ fungi and all viruses are pathogens. Pathogens enter our bodies through various methods such as breaks in the skin‚ the digestive system‚ and respiratory system. Pathogens can survive in many conditions

Genes may affect neurotransmitter levels or receptors. b. Genes can act indirectly by making it more likely you will be raised in a particular environment. c. Genes themselves cause behavior without any influence of the environment. d. Genes produce proteins that may make it more likely for a person to become

single gene that is passed on to a child from a biological parent. There are many ways that conditions can be inherited: Autosomal recessive inheritance – both parents are carriers and have copies of the faulty gene. If only one gene is inherited‚ the child is then a carrier. An example would be Sickle Cell Anaemia. Autosomal dominant inheritance – 1 parent carries the defective gene. The child has a 50% chance of inheriting the condition. An example of this would Huntington Disease. Dominant X-linked

For example‚ the inheritance pattern of may be as an autosomal dominant trait that is transmitted from father or mother to son or daughter.’ states the doctors from MedicineNet. Phenotypes are the physical characteristics expressed with each certain genotype
