Genetic Traits Exercise: Introduction: The pioneer of modern day genetics was an Austrian Monk named Gregor Mendel‚ who established the basic laws of heredity from his studies with pea plants in the late 1800s. Mendel’s fundamental genetic principles may be applied to a variety of traits from many different organisms. Each genetic trait‚ such as flower color‚ is regulated by a pair of genes called alleles. These alleles are found at particular places on the chromosomes called loci. During meiosis

these factors can lead to imbalances in other areas as well (Wise‚ 2010). The importance of this lab is to analyze factors that may affect urine concentration‚ pH‚ and rate of production (flow rate) though multiple scenarios over a period of 60 minutes. My hypothesis for the urine analysis experiment is that the urine volumes will increase because of the increase of fluids to the body for groups 1 and 3‚ in comparison with the control group (group 4)‚ and decrease in the group not group 2 based on

DEFINITIONS Gametes are mature haploid reproductive cells that unite to form a zygote that develops into a new individual. Gametes are also called sex cells. An egg or ovum is a haploid female reproductive cell or gamete whereas a sperm is a male haploid reproductive cell. A zygote is the initial cell that is formed as a result of the union of a male and a female gamete by means of sexual reproduction. The two haploid cells merge to give rise to a diploid cell which marks the first stage of development.

FRQ #3 a.) The first property of water is its polarity. A water molecule is formed by one oxygen atom covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms. The electronegativity of the oxygen atom creates an unequal sharing of electrons between the O and H atoms of the molecule. This also gives water the ability to form hydrogen bonds between the slightly negative oxygen atom and the slightly positive hydrogen atom. Water has a high specific heat due to the hydrogen bonds. Because of this‚ water requires
