Summary Introduction
To explain: The perpetuation of parental traits and
Theme introduction:
The transmission of traits to the next generation is known as heredity and the heritable information is in the form of DNA. The offsprings resemble their parents but are somewhat different in their genetic makeup which explains the genetic variation.

- The continuity of life is based on heritable information in the form of DNA. Relate the structure and behavior of chromosomes to inheritance in bot asexually and sexually reproducing species.arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion to all parts The chromosomes drawn below are found in a human skin cell. The lines represent the chromosomes themselves. The letters indicate the location of a particular version of a gene. a) T/F An individual’s offspring are more likely to inherit a D1 and R together than a D1 and T9 together. b) T/F About 50% of the egg cells from this individual will have both T9 and BA5. c) T/F Because r is recessive, the frequency at which the r version of the gene occurs in a population is lower than the frequency at which the R version occurs in the population. d) T/F If the protein produced by the BA gene is involved in the formation of ovaries, then the BA gene is likely located on a sex chromosome. e) T/F Because the genes shown here are found in skin cells, these genes code for proteins required for skin cell function.arrow_forwardexplain how chromosome behaviour during sexual reproduction in animals ensures perpetuation of parental traits in offspring and, at the same time, gentetic variation among offspring.arrow_forward

Hairy Snout is a holandric trait (carried on the Y chromosome). MyxRotcccc, a handsome male Tickle-belly, has lovely orange hair on his snout. He and his mate, OrgggWny, have six offspring, three boys and three girls. Please answer the following questions about this family. How many of MyxRotcccc’s and OrgggWny’s offspring have hairy snouts? Can you predict which ones? Their eldest son, Bob, marries and has a son. What is the chance that Bob’s son will also have a hairy snout? JoKchew, MyxRotcccc’s and OrgggWny’s youngest daughter, marries a male who has a smooth, hairless purple snout. She has eight offspring, each one lovelier than the last, and all boys. What percentage of these offspring do you expect to have hairy snouts? Explain.arrow_forward
