Heredity is the passing on of traits, or characteristics, from parent to offspring. The units of heredity are
called genes. Different versions of the same gene are called alleles. Genes are found on the chromosomes
in a cell. The comdinations of genes for each trait occur by chance.
When one allele in a pair is stronger than the other allele, the trait of the weaker allele is masked, or
hidden. The stronger allele is the dominant allele, and the allele that is masked is the recessive allele.
Dominant alleles are written as capital letters and recessive alleles are written as lowercase letters. If both
alleles are different, the trait is said to be heterozygous, or hybrid. Sometimes alleles are neither dominant
nor recessive. The result of such a situation is a blending of traits.

The genetic makeup of an individual is known as its genotype. The observable physical characteristics of an
individual that are the result of the genotype are known as its phenotype.
In humans, the sex of an individual is determined by the particular combination of the two sex
chromosomes. Individuals that have two X chromosomes (XX) are females, whereas those with an X and a Y
chromosome (XY) are males,

Astudent from one of the research labs is having trouble preparing a slide for examination and photographing. the bacterial slide that he has brought to you was prepared using a commercially purchased stain. he has asked for your in determining what he is doing wrong so that he can change the lab protocols and continue on with his project. after examining the slide under oil immersion, you determine that no bacteria are present even though the student is able to show you the culture he used to make that slide that has visible growth in the liquid medium. which of the following statements does not explain the fact that there are no bacteria present on the student’s slide? by not allowing a glass slide to completely air dry before heat fixation, the flame will cause the surrounding water to boil and this will damage the bacterial cell. overheating during the fixation step boiled the water within the bacterial cells and resulted in the cells bursting. insufficient heating of the slide did not drive out the thin layer of water and this resulted in minimal bonding between the bacteria and the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide. rinsing with alcohol during the washing step stripped the bacteria off the glass slide.
