Which of the following best describes a reason a trait exhibited by an organism will be passed on to its offspring?
the trait results from isolation of the organism from the rest of the population.
the trait causes a change in the environment surrounding the organism.
the trait decreases the number of genes in the body cells of the organism.
the trait is due to the genetic code present in the organism’s gametes.

Color blindedness is a sex-linked trait. if we could see the pedigree chart for several more generations of the family illustrated here, we would expect a) more males to be color blind. eliminate b) more females to be color blind. c) no females to ever be color blind. d) an equal number of males and females that are color blind.

This problem has been solved! see the answeryou are investigating two traits in fruit flies controlled by one gene each. the b gene controls for body color (black or brown), while the r gene controls for body sculpture (rugose or smooth). after crossing rugose black flies with smooth brown flies, you obtain an f1 generation of 100% smooth black flies.what are the dominant alleles? (1 pt)what are the genotypes of the two parent flies to perform a dihybrid test cross? (1 pt)after running a dihybrid test cross, you find 1000 offspring with the following phenotypes: , rugose406black, smooth86brown, rugose94brown, smooth4141000fill in the expected column with the expected number of offspring in each class of phenotypes. (1 pt)what phenotype classes represent the recombinant offspring? (1 pt each)calculate the relative genetic distance between the body color gene and the body sculpting gene (show your work). (1 pt).

True or false: the ribosome reads the sequence of codons in mrna.
