Q) The passage of traits from parents of offspring is called ? A: Heredity Q) A breed of chicken shows co-dominance for feather color. One allele codes for black feathers, another codes for white feathers. The feathers of heterozygous chickens of this breed will be A: Speckled (Because in co-dominance both alleles are equally dominant and shows up as spots) Q) Situation in which one allele of gene is not completely dominant over another allele for that gene are called A: Incomplete dominance Q) In rabbits, there are four different versions of the gene for coat color. What pattern of inheritance is this ? A: Multiple alleles ( As we call each version of the gene as an allele) Q) Variation in human skin color is an example of A: Polygenic traits (there are 3 important genes coding for skin color and we get one of each of those three genes from each of our parents) Q) Which of the following assort independently? A: Chromosomes (During meiosis, the pairs of homologous chromosome are divided in half to form haploid cells. This assortment of homologous chromosomes is random and hence independent) Q) The plants that Gregor Mendel crossed to produce F1 generation made up of the A: P (Also known as parents used for crossing) Q) Due to the process of segregation, alleles separate during the production of A: Gametes (gametes are produced at the end of meiosis and will be haploid in nature) Q) The scientific study of heredity is called A: Genetics Solution Q) The passage of traits from parents of offspring is called ?
