Familial Hypercholesterolemia is a familial inherited disease , One allele causes liver cells to be generated without cholesterol receptors, while another causes them to be generated normally . A male with "moderate hypercholesterolemia" married a female with the same disease , the percentage of having a female healthy baby is?

15%

25%

50%

12.5%

After further studies of Mendelian characters , scientists found that eye color character in special cases may not follow "the complete dominance law" . If a male with brown eyes married a female with green eyes , the upcoming offspring may have........ eyes

Brown

Green

Hazel

Grey

.................. Refers specifically to the genes, not the traits; that is, the raw information in an organism’s DNA .and it is is the collection of genes responsible for the various genetic traits of a given organism

if you met someone with albinism you would know they most likely have a mutated TYR gene, because that’s the most common cause of albinism. That mutated TYR gene is part of their genotype. Albinism is part of their...........

According to mendel law If you crossed two heterozygous plants, how many of the offspring will also be heterozygous?

All

Half

3/4

1/4

The only pair of chromosomes that you may inherit from your parents carrying the same typical genetic information are:

Homologous chromosomes

Homologous alleles

Sex chromosomes

All of the above

What was the key factor in the success in Mendel's experiments

He started with plants that were native to the area

He started with several different types of plants

He started with self-pollinating purebred plants

He started with cross-pollinating flowering plants

Refer to the illustration. The child in box 1 in the Punnett square would

Be homozygous for freckles

Have an extra freckles chromosome

Be heterozygous for freckles

Not have freckles
