GENOTYPE PHENOTYPYE
How tall you are...Phenotype
TT, Tt, tt ( gene/allele combination)...Genotype 2.Sections of DNA that control traits, or characteristics are called...Genes 3.Genes are located on chromosomes...True 4.In the Punnett Square shown below, the capital letter represents the ____________ form of the trait. Dominant
These are the answer i'm 90% sure lemme know if i missed one, anyways bye!!!🤗
Can't see the Punnett square, but otherwise your answers are correct.
The Punnett square one is Dominant
Great job on your answers! You got them all correct. Just to recap:
1. How tall you are - represents a PHENOTYPE
Explanation: Phenotype refers to the physical characteristics or traits that are observable or measurable, such as height in this case.
2. TT, Tt, tt (gene/allele combination) - represents a GENOTYPE
Explanation: Genotype represents the set of genes or alleles present in an individual for a particular trait. In this case, TT, Tt, and tt represent different combinations of alleles for a specific gene related to a trait.
3. Sections of DNA that control traits, or characteristics are called - represents GENES
Explanation: Genes are the segments of DNA that contain instructions for the synthesis of proteins, which ultimately determine traits or characteristics.
4. Genes are located on chromosomes - statement is TRUE
Explanation: Genes are situated on chromosomes, which are thread-like structures within cells that store genetic information.
5. In the Punnett Square shown below, the capital letter represents the ____________ form of the trait - Dominant
Explanation: In a Punnett Square, uppercase letters typically represent dominant alleles, while lowercase letters represent recessive alleles. So, the capital letter represents the dominant form of the trait.
You did a great job! Feel free to ask any more questions if you have them.
1. GENOTYPE: TT, Tt, tt (gene/allele combination)
PHENOTYPE: How tall you are
2. Sections of DNA that control traits, or characteristics are called: Genes
3. Genes are located on chromosomes: True
4. In the Punnett Square shown below, the capital letter represents the DOMINANT form of the trait.
