Genetic recombination
________ between connected genes may occur during prophase I of meiosis.
2
New cards
Hemophilia
________ and color blindness are two examples of sex- linked recessive traits in humans.
3
New cards
gamete production
During ________, the eggs produced by animals and the ovules produced by plants are significantly bigger than the sperm (in animals) or pollen (in plants) produced.
4
New cards
plants
In ________, ovules contribute more chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) than pollen.
5
New cards
Humans
________ have sex- linked dominant features, although they are extremely rare.
6
New cards
X chromosome
Because all females inherit a(n) ________ from their father, if a male possesses a sex- linked dominant characteristic, all of his daughters will inherit the trait.
7
New cards
color
Height and eye ________ are two features that are created by numerous genes.
8
New cards
Males
________ and females are equally likely to inherit autosomal genes.
9
New cards
Mitochondria
________ and chloroplasts each have their own DNA that is distinct from nuclear DNA.
10
New cards
lengthy stretch
Because linked genes exist on the same chromosome (a ________ of DNA), they are more likely to be inherited together than unlinked genes (which are on separate chromosomes)
11
New cards
Genes
________ on mitochondrial or chloroplast DNA do not exhibit the same inheritance patterns as ________ on nuclear DNA.
12
New cards
Sex chromosomes
________ play a role in determining sex, and genes on ________ inherit differently than those on autosomes.
