Get Mouse Genetics Gizmo Answer Key

The kitten looks different from the parent because it is a mix of both parents' genes and traits. The mother has orange, white, and brown fur while the kitten only has orange and white. It is possible the father was more orange than other colors, and these genes were the strongest.

Through the process of reproduction, children inherit their traits from their parents. Humans typically have 23 pairs of chromosomes; 46 total. Each child inherits one set of 23 chromosomes from the mother and another set of 23 chromosomes from the father.

The red allele is responsible for red coat color and the black allele causes black coat color. We mostly use letters as an abbreviation for alleles, B = black, b = red. An individual that contains two copies of the same allele for a specific gene is homozygous.

One litter of kittens can contain cats of all different colours, particularly if the mother has mated with more than one male. Male kittens will always inherit their colour from their mother, whereas female kittens will be a combination of the colours of each parent.

The different versions of the genes are known as alleles. One is inherited from the father, and one from the mother. Even if both versions of the gene have the same task, they may be slightly different to each other. Sometimes these different versions of genes (alleles) result in different traits.

All the kittens have a similar size, which is likely because they are the same age. All kittens have a similar fur pattern that involves white belly with spots.

Parents pass on traits or characteristics, such as eye colour and blood type, to their children through their genes.

In dogs, the gene for fur color has two alleles. The dominant allele (F) codes for grey fur and the recessive allele (f) codes for black fur. The female dog is heterozygous.

An offspring's genotype is the result of the combination of genes in the sex cells or gametes (sperm and ova) that came together in its conception. One sex cell came from each parent. Sex cells normally only have one copy of the gene for each trait (e.g., one copy of the Y or G form of the gene in the example above).

How Do Genes Pass From Parent to Child? To form a fetus, an egg from the mother and sperm from the father come together. The egg and sperm each have one half of a set of chromosomes. The egg and sperm together give the baby the full set of chromosomes.

In cats, fur color is determined by an X-linked gene; There are two alleles for this gene, one allele is for black fur and the other is for orange fur. In cats, a heterozygote female has calico (black and orange patches) colored fur.

Siblings can be a variety of colours Male kittens always inherit their fur colour from the mum, so brothers are likely to be similar colours. However, female kittens will inherit a combination of their mum and dad's colouring, so their coats can vary from their sisters', especially if they have different dads!
