DD
dd
DI
Dd
Question 12:
Mendel made some crosses where he looked at two characteristics at once: round yellow peas crossed with wrinkled green peas, for example. He did this because he wanted to find out
whether different characters were inherited together or separately.
how plants and animals adapt to their environments.
how new characters originated.
whether the characters influence each other; for example, whether color affects degree of roundness.

centrosomes.
allosomes.
dominant.

next to each other on the same chromosome.
at different locations on the same chromosome.
Question 17: Hypohosphatemia (vitamin D-resistant rickets) is inherited as a sex-linked dominant trait. The relevant gene is found on the X chromosome. What is the expected outcome of a cross between a homozygous recessive woman and a man with hypophosphatemia?
