Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

Question

If an allele is dominant then only one copy is sufficient for it to be visible in the phenotype.

True or false?

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.

Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and is often fatal. “XD” represents the wild type allele, and “Xd,” the mutant allele. Jonah is XDXd Y and his brother Pete is Xd Y. Jonah and Pete BOTH have DMD of equal severity and phenotypes. You might have thought Jonah’s DMD would be less severe given his genotype. To better understand the situation, you investigate Jonah’s Xist chromosome region in his defective muscle cells. Which of the following is consistent with his phenotype? (Select all that apply.) The Xd-containing chromosome is inactive in defective muscle cells. The XD-containing chromosome has a methylated Xist promoter. The XD-containing chromosome has an unmethylated Xist promoter. The Xd-containing chromosome is active in defective muscle cells.
