You can tell that an organism is related to another organism by looking at their DNA. If they are similar, they are related. Another way to see if they look similar. For example, we are related to chimpanzees because we look similar and have similar DNA.

Match the following terms and definitions. 1.breeding of individuals that have genes for two different characteristics codominan
Luden [163]
<span>Answers;
1.Breeding of individuals that have genes for two different characteristics; Dihybrid cross
2.A grid system used to predict possible combinations of genes due to random fertilization; Punnet square
3 A condition in which both alleles are dominant; Codominance
4.when more than two alternatives exist for a gene; multiple alleles
5.A condition in which neither pair of alleles is dominant or recessive, so the traits blend in the phenotype ;Incomplete dominance;

Explanation;
</span>Dihybrid cross;
<span>It involves the breeding of individuals that have genes for two different characteristics. It involves the cross of individuals that are both heterozygous for two different traits. For example two different traits in a pea plant; color and shape; for color we have; Y-allele for yellow seeds and y- allele for green seeds, For Shape trait; R-allele for round seeds and r-allele for wrinkled seeds. So the dihydbrid cross would be (RrYy </span>× RrYy). 
<span>
Punnet square;

</span><span>This a grid system or a square diagram that is used to predict possible combinations of genes due to random fertilization. It is used by biologists determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype. 
</span><span>The letters on the outside of a Punnett Square stand for the parent allele.
</span>
Codominance
;
<span>This is a condition in heterozygotes in which both members of an allelic pair are dominant and both contribute to the phenotype. 
A good example of codominance is the ABO blood group; A person with blood group AB, it means that both the A allele and B allele are equally expressed. 

Multiple alleles

</span><span>This is when more than two alternatives for a gene exist.
Examples of multiple allelism in human;The genes of the ABO blood group system. The human ABO system is controled by three alleles, namely; A-allele, B-allele and O-allele.

Incomplete dominance;
</span><span>This is condition in heterozygotes in which both members of an allelic pair are neither dominant nor recessive to other alleles, so the two traits blend in the phenotype of the individual. 
An example; is a snapdragon flower that is pink as a result of cross-pollination between a red flower and a white flower. Which means neither the white allele or the red allele are dominant. </span>

How do you do this please it’s due tomorrow
Tema [17]

3. genotype is round seed

phenotype is Rr

4. genotype is grey fur

phenotype are WW and Ww

5. genotype is short

phenotype is tt

1. genotype is high metabolism

phenotype are HH and Hh

Explanation:

The dominant trait is the capital letter and the reccessive is the lowercase letter.

To do a punnet square you bring down each letter say like problem 1, you bring down capital D down and little d down to each of the 2 squares below them, then you drag the sides to the right of the two squares and you get DD for the first square, then Dd, then below Dd, then next to it DD.

Phenotype is a organism's actual appearence.

Genotype is a gene combination. The gene combination that determines the phenotype

7. Based on their shape, how would you classify these Fungi? (Which Division do they fit?) I would classify them as sac fungi
swat32

Answer:

To match the features and characteristics.

Explanation:

We can classify these Fungi on the basis of their features and characteristics that resembles to the different divisions of fungi. Fungi are classified in four divisions i.e. the Chytridiomycota (chytrids), Zygomycota (bread molds), Ascomycota (yeasts and sac fungi), and the Basidiomycota (club fungi). There are specific characteristics of every division of fungi so we have to match the physical features of unknown fungi with these divisions and classify them.
