That's correct - it's a square where on one axis, the paternal allele (allele = one of the possible forms of the same gene), and on another the maternal allele is listed. Often, it's also indicated whether an allele is recessive or dominant.
Then, in the table that results, all the possible "combinations" of allele between the paternal and maternal party are created. If you count how often a certain combination appears, it indicates the likelihood of that combination.
See the picture (though it is directly from Wikipedia, please note). The likelihood of BB is 25%, of Bb is 50%, and of bb 25%.
The answer to your question is C!
Answer:
Option-D, a segment of DNA
Explanation:
A gene represents the particular segment of DNA which contains the instruction for the trait of an organism. The nucleotide sequence present in the segment provides the instruction in the form of codons.
The gene is present in the form of its alternative form called alleles which are located on the chromosomes at locus. The alleles represent the variants of the gene and therefore controls the two variety of a single trait.
Thus, Option-D is correct.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
XX is female they produce eggs. XY is male. they produce sperm
Answer: The probability is 100%.
Explanation: The chromosome X is related to gender. A man carries two different chromosomes (XY) and a woman carries two similar chromosomes (XX). The offspring of a couple will inherited:
- If it is a boy, he inherites the chromosome Y from his father and X from his mother;
- If it a girl, she inherites X from her father and X from her mother;
In the question, the woman is color-blind, which means she carries the recessive alleles: 
The man, on the other hand, is normal, so his X-linked genotype will be: 
.
Now, since they have a daughter, she inherited her double X from each of her parents, which means she inherited one 
from her mother and one 
from her father.
So, the daughter's genotype can only be heterozygotic in other words, the probability is 100%.
