Having the ability to roll-up your tongue is a dominant trait in humans governed by alleles T and t. Knowing that, what could be the genotype of somebody that can roll-up their tongue?

4.

How do we call the generation that is fromed up by the parental generation's offspring?

(a)  

5.

What does the law of independent assortment say?

a)

That the alleles are distributed independently among the gametes of the individual

b)

That the alleles of a gene are transmitted independently and combined randomly and in all possible ways with alleles from other genes

c)

That we have two types of alleles governing the genetic traits: one of them will be dominant over the other, so it will be expressed in case of heterozygocity

d)

That the science of genetics is independent from any other science in the world

When does the 3rd Mendel's law (law of independent assortment) not work?

a)

When we are male, because we only have one copy of the X chromosome

When we have an aneuploidy, this is an alteration in the number of chromosomes

c)

When two or more genes are in the same chromosome, meaning they are linked genes
