Define each of the terms in your own words. Do not copy the definition of the word from the glossary of your book. The goal of t

his question is for you to practice using the terminology of genetics in a way that makes sense to you. Your definition will be penalized for incorrect or missing information, but the wording is up to you.
Words to define:
gene, allele, dominant, recessive, genotype, phenotype, test-cross, law of independent assortment, law of segregation, product rule, addition rule, back-cross, codominant, incomplete dominance.

Answer:

Gene: The hereditary material made up of alleles.

Alleles: The alternative forms of a gene.

Dominant: An allele or trait that masks the effect of recessive allele or trait.

Recessive: An allele or trait that gets suppressed by the dominant allele or trait.

genotype: The genome of a particular organism of the genes which make up an organism.

phenotype: The physical traits or characteristics of an organism.

test- cross: A cross in which the dominant and the recessive trait offsprings are crossed to depict whether the dominant organism is homozygous or heterozygous.

law of independent assortment: Alleles of different genes get assorted independently into gametes.

law of segregation: allele pairs segregate during gamete formation and unite at the time of fertilization.

product rule: Independent evens can be calculated by multiplying the independent probabilities.

Addition rule: The probability which shows that one event would occur in a mutually exclusive event.

co-dominant: When the dominant and the recessive trait occur and the organism shows both the characteristics of the dominant and the recessive trait.

incomplete dominance: when the dominant trait is not fully dominant over the recessive trait. As a result, individuals are produced which show neither the dominant or the recessive trait. A new trait is developed in them.

How will the addition of water affect the acidity of a highly acetate solution having pH 2
seropon [69]
By common logic you know that water has pH=7
When you add water to something that is acidic, for example you add water to vinegar, you make it less acidic. So the pH from 2 will be higher for instance 3 or 4 or 5 etc.
This happens because pH=-log[H3O+]

Your lab specializes in assessing genetic variation between human populations in european countries. What type(s) of analysis wo
ladessa [460]

The answer is single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

It checks for variation in nucleotide sequences in particular genes that may be different among people, especially in different races. An example is a gene for melanin that would determine the trait for skin color. Single nucleotide changes in the gene between population can be used to differentiate populations.
