    personality are determined by our genetic makeup and genotype that we are born with. Offspring are simply a product of the genes that were provided to them from their parents. Over time‚ the traits inherited are influenced by the environment an organism is placed in. The environment and resources available are the driving forces of evolution. An important aspect to this process is that traits are never fully gotten rid of. When referring to an organism’s genotype‚ there are two main types such as homozygous

    offspring from two parents. Test crosses can be performed to determine whether dominant phenotypes are heterozygous or homozygous. Mendel formed his law of segregation from this work. Today we know that many traits are controlled by dominant and recessive alleles of genes. Genes have a specific location called the gene locus. Genotype describes the actual alleles for a gene; phenotype is the physical expression of the genotype. Two Trait Inheritance Mendel also performed experiments looking at inheritance

    ECO EVO Study Guide Major Themes: Darwin’s Postulate 1. Heritable variation – (genotype) models of 1-3 loci‚ usually 2 alleles‚ produce heritable phenotypes 2. Organisms engage in a struggle for existence – per capita growth rates from survival and reproduction 3. Heritable traits influence outcome of the struggle – variation affects the struggle; phenotypes (determined by genotypes) influence per capita growth rates 3 Big Questions Biologists seek to answer: 1.

Armand’s genotype Desiree’s genotype Baby’s genotype 5. Consider the skin pigmentation of biracial individuals‚ such as Halle Berry‚ Lenny Kravits‚ Mariah Carey‚ or "The Rock." Can these phenotypes (skin colors) be explained by the same Mendelian model? Part II – Skin Color is a Polygenic Trait Differences in skin color

    Discussion The goal of the experiment was to determine what gene or genes are responsible for the white eye phenotype of two strains of Drosophila melanogaster. According the literature‚ the w+ gene is located on the X chromosome at 1.5 genetic map units (1). In addition‚ the st+ and bw+ genes are autosomal and assort independently‚ meaning they are two different genes located on two different chromosomes. It is stated that the bw+ gene is located on the 2R chromosome at 104.5 map units (2)
