Multiple ChoiceAn allele that exerts its effects whenever it is present is:17589Has a video solution.
Multiple ChoiceIf the two alleles for a particular gene are identical the gene pair is:16185Has a video solution.
Multiple ChoiceMendel's pea plants can have yellow peas or green peas. Mendel found the yellow pea color allele to be dominant over the green pea color allele. What does this mean?22915Has a video solution.
Multiple ChoiceIn a certain plant, the alleles A, B, and C are completely dominant to the alleles a, b, and c. A plant with the genotype AABbcc will have the same phenotype as a plant with the genotype __________. 6501
Multiple ChoiceColor in squash is controlled by epistatic interactions in which color is recessive to no color. At the first locus, white squash (W) is dominant to colored squash (w). At the second locus, yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y). What is the phenotype of a squash with the genotype wwYy? 6221
Textbook QuestionComplete this concept map to help you review some key concepts of genetics. a. b. c. d. e. f. 133Has a video solution.
Textbook QuestionWhether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on a. how common the allele is, relative to other alleles. b. whether it is inherited from the mother or the father. c. whether it or another allele determines the phenotype when both are present. d. whether or not it is linked to other genes.290Has a video solution.
Textbook QuestionWhy is the pea wrinkle-seed allele a recessive allele? a. It 'recedes' in the F2 generation when homozygous parents are crossed. b. The trait associated with the allele is not exhibited in heterozygotes. c. Individuals with the allele have lower fitness than that of individuals with the dominant allele. d. The allele is less common than the dominant allele. (The wrinkled allele is a rare mutant.)252Has a video solution.
Textbook QuestionThe alleles found in haploid organisms cannot be dominant or recessive. Why? a. Dominance and recessiveness describe which of two possible phenotypes are exhibited when two different alleles occur in the same individual. b. Because only one allele is present, alleles in haploid organisms are always dominant. Ac. lleles in haploid individuals are transmitted like mitochondrial DNA or chloroplast DNA. d. Most haploid individuals are bacteria, and bacterial genetics is completely different from eukaryotic genetics.341Has a video solution.
Textbook QuestionEdward was found to be heterozygous (Ss) for sickle-cell trait. The alleles represented by the letters S and s are a. linked. b. on homologous chromosomes. c. both present in each of Edward's sperm cells. d. on the same chromosome but far apart.217Has a video solution.
