Does a mom or dad ever give more DNA to a baby than the other parent? Why?​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The mother actually gives more DNA to a baby more than the father because of the little organelles, aka the mitochondria that live inside your cells are only to be received from your mother.

But in DNA, it can vary who's side you can get more of, and in some rare cases, equally. This is because dominant genes carry out around 75% of the time and genes that are recessive can carry out 25% of the time, depending on the genetics of both the mother and the father. Example, brown eyes are a dominant gene over blue eyes, so there is a 75% chance that the baby will have brown eyes and a 25% chance that the baby has blue eyes if one parent has the brown eye gene and one has the blue eye gene.

I hope this helped!! :D

Chemoreceptor is a specialized sensory receptor cell, which responds to a chemical substance and generates a biological signal.
The type of chemoreceptor responsible for our sense of smell is called olfactory receptor. It is also known as odorant receptor, these are found in a small patch of tissue high inside the nose. These cells directly connected to the brain.

Imagine that four genes on a single chromosome in a mutant phenotype of Drosophila cross over at half the normal rate as in the
lesantik [10]

We know that frequency of recombination is proportional with the distance between the genes on the chromosome. Therefore when the recombination rate is higher that means the distance between the genes on the chromosome is bigger. If the recombination rate is lower that means the genes are closer to each other on the chromosome. In this case the cross over rate is half the normal rate in the wild-type. That means that on the genetic map the distance between the two genes on the wild type will be twice bigger than the genes of the mutated Drosophila.

discuss the genetic diagram to show a cross between a man heterozygous for brown eyes (Bb) and a woman with blue eyes (bb)
grigory [225]
You should use a Punnett Square for this question
The Punnett square predicts the offspring of two parents (two alleles). In this case you have brown eyes (Bb) and blue eyes (bb)
In the four boxes you should have Bb, Bb, bb and bb (50% chance of offspring with blue eyes and 50% chance of offspring with brown eyes).
The genotypes ratio will be 2Bb:2bb
And the phenotypic ratio will be 2 Brown : 2 Blue
