Document Summary
Law of independent assortment inheritance of alleles for one trait has nothing to do with the inheritance of alleles of another trait, but Recombination: when chromosomes lines up, alleles will suffer between chromosome pairs. *if two genes are very close together on a chromosome, the odds of them being broken up from recombination is smaller. Law of segregation every trait is the product of two alleles coming together to produce that trait and you get one copy of each allele from each parent but Sex-linked genes: particular genes only on x chromosome or y chromosome, not both. 1. some alleles are only from one parent. Today: genes x environment x sex = trait. On average the taller the mother is, the taller the student is. On average the taller the parents are, the taller the student is. On average the taller same-sex parents height, the taller the student is. Heritability: percentage of a trait that is due to genes.
