Explanation

Question 31 of 45

1

Mendel's Laws:
1. The Principle of : the two members of a gene pair (alleles) segregate from each other in the formation of gametes. Half the gametes carry one allele, and the other half carry the other allele.
2. The Principle of : Genes for different traits assort independently of one another in the formation of gametes.
3. The Principle of : If one parent has two copies of allele A -- the dominant allele -- and the second parent has two copies of allele a-- the recessive allele -- then the offspring will inherit an Aa genotype and display the dominant phenotype.

Explanation

Question 41 of 45

1

Since females possess two X chromosomes and males have one X chromosome and a , Barr bodies are essential to regulate the amount of X-linked gene product being transcribed. To ensure that X-linked gene product doses are kept similar between males and females, one of the in a female becomes very condensed - . This results in the genetic information on the chromosome being inaccessible to proteins that cause gene transcription. This is known as .
