I think the correct answers from the choices listed above are options B and C. The two main sources  that lead to increased genetic variation would be Gamete mutations and recombination. <span>Gametes mutations leads to change in DNA information, recombination allows mixture of genotypes.</span>

Answer:

B) Gamete mutations, C) Recombination

Explanation:

Any random changes in the DNA of gametes are called as gamete mutations. These mutations are transmitted to the next generation via gametes and thereby the genetic variations are increased.

Recombination is the production of new gene combinations. Crossing over during meiosis I of gamete formation add new gene combinations to gametes. Random fertilization of these gametes add even more genetic variations to the progeny.

A female is born with attached earlobes, which is a recessive phenotype. Which of the following statements about her parents mus
Igoryamba

Complete question:

A female is born with attached earlobes, which is a recessive phenotype. Which of the following statements about her parents must be true?

a. neither has the codominant allele.

b. Her father has an inactivated allele.

c. Both parents have the recessive allele.

d. Her mother carries the dominant allele.

Answer:

c. Both parents have the recessive allele.

Explanation:

A recessive trait is expressed in homozygous recessive genotypes only. If a female expresses the attached earlobe phenotype, she should be homozygous for the allele since the attached earlobe is a recessive trait. If allele "a" gives attached earlobe phenotype in homozygous genotype, the genotype of the female would be "aa". This means that the female has got one copy of the allele "a" from her either parents. Therefore, both her parents should have at least one copy of the recessive allele "a".

Which combination of alleles are always involved in the inheritance of a sex-linked trait?
Basile [38]

Answer:

important category of genetic linkage has to do with the X and Y sex chromosomes. These not only carry the genes that determine male and female traits but also those for some other characteristics as well.
