If crossing over and independent assortment ceased to occur,
a. genetic variation would decline rapidly, with sperm or ova having the same alleles.
b. sperm will always have the same alleles, but ova will always have different alleles.
c. ova will always have the same alleles, but sperm will always have different alleles.
d. sperm or ova would alternate between the types of alleles they will contain.

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.

Explain the causes and effect of damage to the genetic code.

The diagram shows the results when two parents are crossed. the letters represent alleles for a trait that is controlled by three different genes. which best describes this inheritance pattern? multiple allele because a trait is controlled by three different genes polygenic because the offspring have alleles from both parents multiple allele because the offspring have alleles from both parents polygenic because a trait is controlled by three different genes
