Questions I NEED TO STUDY

Front

What's a Mendelian monohybrid?

Back

• Purebred Parents: Cross two purebred parents with opposite traits.

• F1 Generation: Offspring show the dominant trait.

• F2 Generation: Offspring typically show a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive traits.

What is a Mendelian dihybrid?

Back

• Two Traits: A dihybrid cross studies how two different traits are inherited together.

• F1 Generation: Offspring from the first cross show both dominant traits.

• F2 Generation: The second generation typically shows a 9:3:3:1 ratio of trait combinations.

What is an X-linked cross?

Back

• X Chromosome Traits: Traits are inherited through the X chromosome, affecting males and females differently.

• Recessive Conditions: X-linked traits, like color blindness, are more common in males.

• Inheritance Patterns: Offspring traits depend on which X chromosome they inherit.
