what's the difference between these- single or multiple genes, and dominant, recessive or sex-linked genes

1 answer:

6 0

A single gene disorder is one that's known to be caused by a single gene. Multiple gene disorders, however, can be caused by multiple gene combinations and other factors. Dominant genes are always expressed in the offspring, while recessive genes are only expressed if the offspring recieves the recessive gene from both parents. Sex-linked genetic disorders occur most often in men, and are caused by a single-gene disorder gene being on the X chromosome but not the Y, so that the offspring needs only one recessive gene to have the trait/disorder.

Does this help? Any more questions?

Anatomy and

Masja [62]

Answer:

lateral; inferior

Explanation:

In anatomical terms:

Superior is towards the head, and <u>inferior </u>is towards the feet.
Medial is towards the centre of the body (belly button) whereas <u>lateral </u>is towards the outside of the body (towards the hip bones and arms, for example)
Posterior is towards the back (spine), whereas anterior is towards the front (belly)

Therefore, the fingers are lateral (to the side) and inferior (lower) than the heart

Let Y = yellow and y = green, and R = round and r = wrinkled. You cross YYRR peas with yyrr peas. All of the F1 individuals are

lukranit [14]

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Given that the F2 cross produces offspring according to the expected 9:3:3:1 ratio.

YyRr X YyRr:

Let us break the dihybrid cross into individual monohybrid crosses.

Yy X Yy :

Y y

Y YY Yy

y Yy yy

2/4 or 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.

Similarly, in Rr X Rr cross, 1/2 of the offspring are heterozygous for the trait.

Together, 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 of F2 plants are expected to be heterozygous for both traits.
