31Mendel's Laws:
1. The Principle of [blank_start]Segregation[blank_end]: 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 [blank_start]Independent Assortment[blank_end]: Genes for different traits assort independently of one another in the formation of gametes.
3. The Principle of [blank_start]Dominance[blank_end]: 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.- ASegregation
- BIndependent Assortment
- CDominance

40What is a Barr Body?
- Aan activated, expanded X chromosome found in female cells
- Ban inactivated, condensed X chromosome found in female cells
- Cthe inactive X chromosome in male cells
41Since females possess two X chromosomes and males have one X chromosome and a [blank_start]Y chromosomes[blank_end], 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 [blank_start]X chromosomes[blank_end] in a female becomes very condensed - [blank_start]the Barr body[blank_end]. This results in the genetic information on the chromosome being inaccessible to proteins that cause gene transcription. This is known as [blank_start]Dosage Compensation[blank_end].
- AX chromosomes
- BY chromosomes
- Cthe Barr body
- DDosage Compensation
42Phenotype of the heterozygote is the same as the phenotype of one of the homozygotes is [blank_start]complete dominance[blank_end].
Phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate (falls within the range) between the phenotypes of the two homozygotes. Mixture of dominant and recessive. Example: RR (red) + rr (white) = Rr (pink). This is a definition of [blank_start]incomplete dominance[blank_end].
Phenotype of the heterozygote includes the phenotypes of both homozygotes. Examples are spotted flowers, horses or cows. This is a definition of [blank_start]codominance[blank_end].- Acomplete dominance
