Question

What do you understand about the given terms in view of Mendel's experiments.

a) Heredity b) Inheritance c) Homozygous d) Heterozygous​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer

Explanation:

a) Mendel's Laws of Heredity are usually stated as: 1) The Law of Segregation: Each inherited trait is defined by a gene pair. ... 2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted separately from one another so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.

b) The law of inheritance was proposed by Gregor Mendel after conducting experiments on pea plants for seven years. The Mendel's laws of inheritance include law of dominance, law of segregation and law of independent assortment.

c) Homozygous describes the genetic condition or the genetic state where an individual has inherited the same DNA sequence for a particular gene from both their biological mother and their biological father. It's often used in the context of disease. ... We would then say that individual is homozygous for that mutation.

d) Mendel's experiments described so far stemmed from two pure-breeding parental lines that differed in one character. As we have seen, such lines produce F1 progeny that are heterozygous for one gene (genotype A /a ). Such heterozygotes are sometimes called monohybrids.
