QuestionAnswer
What happens if you have 2 Different Alleles? -What can this mean?-This pretty much means you have Instruction for 2 Different Versions of the Characteristic -But only 1 of the Versions will show its Characteristic, making it a Dominant Allele, because its the one that's showing -The other Allele, or Version, is a Recessive Allele, so meaning its Insignificant
In Genetic Diagrams: -What are Dominant Alleles presented as? -What are Recessive Alleles presented as?-Dominant Alleles have a Capital Letter to show it -Recessive Alleles have a Lower Case Letter to show it
What does it mean if your a Homozygous?-This means the 2 Alleles you have, for that gene, are the Same, so both Dominant [CC] or both Recessive [cc]
What does it mean if your a Heterozygous?-This means the 2 Alleles you have, for that gene, are Different [Cc]
So what would happen if 2 Heterozygous Hamsters that have a Gene about Fur Length [Example] breed? What are the Possibilities and why?-If the Hamsters are Heterozygous, then it'll look like -Bb, Bb which is equal to --> B b B b -Now how you a Times Table Square looks like, you simply do it with the Letter [One Pair on the Left, one at the Top] -The Possibilities are BB, Bb, Bb, bb -So 50% of the Outcomes are going to be Heterozygous, and Homozygous -75% of the Outcomes are going to have a Dominant Allele, so it'll show whatever that Allele will code for
What does Single Gene Inheritance mean?-Its in the name really, simply means the Characteristic is controlled by 1 Gene [Allele]
