The option that is true of genes found on chromosomes is that D. they determine the inherited traits of an organism.
Genes are inherited - so those are the things that we get from our parents and other ancestors. It is easy to determine which of these genes a child is going to inherit - the doctors just need to take a look at the chromosomes, because genes are located there.
Answer:
If he inherited a mutation which made him more susceptible to lung cancer, it may have been present in some of the gametes he produced and passed to his children
Explanation:
Even tho the cause of lung cancer is not very clear, a genetic predisposition is of a great influence, his smoking and therefore causing a lung cancer is not appliable to his children because of no connection, but in the sense of having a mutation which makes you predisposable to the cancer with or without the smoking, can lead to a high risk of gene inheritance and therefore inheriting the mutation with a high risk of getting lung cancer excluding the smoking.
Answer:
In a fruit fly experiment, grey body, normal winged (homozygous dominant) fruit flies were mated with black body, short winged (homozygous recessive) fruit flies. The F1 dihybrid females were then used in a test cross. If the genes are always linked and no crossing over occurs, what would be the predicted ratio in the F2 generation?
GG x bb = Gb, Gb, Gb and Gb F1 generation
grey body heterozygous offspring 4:0
Gb x Gb= GG, Gb, Gb, and bb F2 generation
3:1 three grey body fly and one black body fly
