Question

The Genotype is an individual organism's set of alleles for a given trait. The outwardly observable characteristics or traits of an organism is know as it's phenotype . Meiosis produces _4 haploid. gametes as The final product. Eukaryotic organisms are usually .diploid . That is, they have 2n number of chromosomes in their somatic cells. Mitosis produces _haploid/gamete/sex cells, while meiosis produces diploid/somatic cells. _alleles_ are versions of The same gene. Crick/watson discovered DNA. Chargaffs rule states that in dual stranded genetic material, A% matches T % and C% matches G%. DNA is transcribed to mRNA which is trans!ated to PROTEIN.

Explanation / Answer

1. The genes inherited by the offspring are known as its “genotype.” - It is the individual organism's set os allels for a given trait.

2. If the environmental conditions support this genotype for its expression, then the resulting observable characters (height, colour of skin, hair, etc.) are said to be its “phenotype.”

3. Meiosis is also known as reduction division, which produces haploid cells (gamets, 4 in number).

4. Most of the eukaryotic organisms are diploid (contain 2n number of chromosomes).

5. Mitosis produces diploid/somatic cells, while meiosis produces haploid/gamete/sex cells.
