CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
◉ Thomas Hunt Morgan.
Answer: Biologist provided more evidence to the theory of
Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance studying sex-linked traits in fruit
flies.
◉ wild type.
Answer: The phenotype for a character most commonly observed in
natural populations
◉ mutant phenotypes.
Answer: due to alleles assumed to have originated as changes, or
mutations, in the wild-type allele
◉ sex-linked gene.
Answer: A gene that is carried on the X or Y chromosome
◉ X-linked genes.
Answer: A gene located on the X chromosome; such genes show a
distinctive pattern of inheritance.
, ◉ hemophilia.
Answer: an X-linked recessive disorder in which blood fails to clot
properly, leading to excessive bleeding if injured.
◉ Barr body.
Answer: A dense object lying along the inside of the nuclear envelope in
female mammalian cells, representing an inactivated X chromosome.
◉ linked gene.
Answer: Genes located close enough together on a chromosome to be
usually inherited together.
◉ genetic recombination.
Answer: the production of offspring with combinations of traits differing
from those found in either parent
◉ parental types.
Answer: offspring with a phenotype that matches one of the parental
phenotypes.
◉ recombinant types.
Answer: when offspring display phenotypes that are different than
parents
◉ crossing over.
