Sex-linked traits are genetic characteristics determined by genes located on sex chromosomes. Genes are pieces of DNA on chromosomes that carry information that are responsible for inheriting traits. Different forms of the same gene are called alleles. One allele for a certain trait is inherited from a mother and one from a father. These traits are passed down from parent to their offspring by sexual reproduction. Fragile X syndrome (FXS) or Martin-Bell syndrome is a genetic syndrome that causes autism

formulated by a man often times called the "father of genetics‚" Gregor Mendel. He determined that individuals have two alternate forms of a gene‚ referred to as two alleles. An individual can me homozygous dominant (two dominant alleles‚ AA)‚ homozygous recessive‚ (two recessive alleles‚ aa)‚ or heterozygous (one dominant and one recessive allele‚ Aa). There were tow particular crosses that took place in this experiment. The first cross-performed was Ebony Bodies versus Vestigle Wings‚ where Long wings

The history of fruit flies is considered a tradition. Research of these flies initially entered labs 100 years ago. Thomas Hunt Morgan‚ who lived from 1866 to 1945‚ was the founder of drosophila genetics. Thomas preformed his research in Morgan lab at the Columbia University in 1910. Here was when they found a famous mutation‚ know as the white-eyed fly. Quite an accomplishment was this discovery‚ but the end of the 1980’s there were 3‚000+-recorded mutations. Now drosophila is very popular; so popular

is indicated by a darkened square. If all offspring of a cross have the genotype Aa‚ the parents of the crosses would most likely be AA aa. Mules are sterile because they have an odd number of chromosomes A locus is the location of an allele on a chromosome Scientists began to question the perfection of the Chain of Being because of all of these. The border across which genes can flow between two populations is called the contact zone. Hybrid organisms produced from a cross between

The allele b gives Drosophila flies a black body and b+ gives brown‚ the wild-type phenotype. The allele wx of a separate gene gives waxy wings and wx+ gives nonwaxy‚ the wild-type phenotype. The allele cn of a third gene gives cinnabar eyes and cn+ gives red‚ the wild-type phenotype. A female heterozygous for these three genes is testcrossed‚ and 1000

Vries all found that Mendel had explained the same result 35 years go. Resistance remained about Mendels laws until evidence had supported it. Chromosoems and genes are both present in pairs of diploid cells. Homologous chromosomes separate and alleles segregate during meiosis. Fertilization restores the paired condition for both chromosomes and genes. Around 1902‚ the chromosome theory of inheritance began to take form. Thomas Hunt Morgan was the first t associate a specific gene with a specific

taste PTC has been a mainstay activity in human genetics for generations of teacher and students. The ability to taste PTC is inherited. Traditionally this is presented as a case of simple Mendelian inheritance involving a dominant allele for tasting and a recessive allele for non tasting of PTC. However it has long been recognized that PTC tasting is not a trait.
