GENETIC ENGINEERING (Discussion) During reproduction, genes are transferred from the parent organisms to the offspring, whether they are tomato seeds or baby walruses. Scientists have learned how to isolate genes and insert them into cells without using the parents. Genes may now be transferred from one organism to another by […]

1. Let’s say you have a trait (a phenotype) that is controlled by 1 gene (coat color) and 2 alleles (blue coat allele and red coat allele). The alleles are codominant, so a heterozygote is green. In a population of animals you see 100 red coat individuals, 100 blue coat […]

This is an awesome question, it’s not very often I get to listen to music for an answer! First, I’d be remiss (as an educator, student, and answer-er person) if I didn’t provide at least a basic definition of metonymy and (lyrical) paradox. Metonymy is a figure of speech where […]

1) One of Mendel’s key discoveries is:a) there are alternate versions of genes called alleles b) a diploid organism has two alleles of each genec) there are dominant and recessive allelesd) Law of Segregatione) all of the above2) In pea plant flowers, purple (P) is completely dominant to white (p).
