Mendelin Inheritance

Front

What is a heterozygous genotype?

Back

A genotype consisting of two different alleles for a particular gene, such as Hh.

Front

What is a homozygous dominant genotype?

Back

A genotype consisting of two identical dominant alleles for a particular gene, such as BB.

Front

What is a homozygous recessive genotype?

Back

A genotype consisting of two identical recessive alleles for a particular gene, such as hh.

Front

What genotype would a white-winged moth have if it is homozygous recessive?

Back

bb.

Front

What does the genotype 'Hh' represent?

Back

A heterozygous genotype.

Front

What is the significance of parental genotypes in Mendelian inheritance?

Back

Parental genotypes determine the possible genotypes of the offspring through genetic crosses.

Front

What is the genotype of a moth that is homozygous dominant?

Back

BB.

Front

What does the genotype 'bb' indicate about a moth's traits?

Back

The moth expresses the recessive trait.

Front

In a genetic cross, what does 'Bb x BB' represent?

Back

A cross between a heterozygous moth and a homozygous dominant moth.

Front

What is the expected genotype ratio from a cross of 'Bb x Bb'?

Back

1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb.
