Question

i am doing a home test and the questiond are fill in the blank and the question says ''Punnett squares can help predict the possibility of inheriting a given trait from crossing two parents. Each parent has (one/two) allele(s) for each trait in all of their body cells, which are (haploid,diploid). Remember that alleles are versions of a gene. These can be dominant,written with a capital letter,or recessive,written with a lower-case letter. Through meiosis,each parent donates (one/two)alleles to their (Diploid/Haploid)gametes,and when those gametes combine during the process of (mitosis/fertilization),all resulting offspring will have (one/two)alleles,which means they are(diploid/haploid)for the trait. To keep track of generations,tyhe first group to be crossed are called the ''P Generation''. The offspring of the P Generation are called (F1 Generation/F2 Generation). The offspring of the P Generation are called the (F1 Generation/F2 Generation).'' Please answer the ones in parenthisis.

Explanation / Answer

1. (One/Two) Answer: Two. Each somatic cell in the human body has 23 pairs of chromosomes. Two alleles in one pair, one allele in each chromosome. 2. (Haploid/Diploid) Answer: Diploid. Ploidy refers to the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell. Since cells in your body have two sets, they are diploid, as opposed to haploid, having only one cell. 3. (one/two) Answer: One. Parents pass on their genetic information through meiosis, which results in gametes. Gametes have only one set of chromosomes, thus only one of the pairs of alleles from each parent. 4. (Diploid, Haploid) Answer: Haploid. Gametes have one set of chromosomes, or half (ha-) of two sets of chromosomes. 5. (Mitosis/Fertilization) Answer: Fertilization. Gametes from different parents come together in a process called fertilization. Mitosis is the process by which somatic cells divide and grow. 6. (one/two) Answer: Two. 1 allele from each gamete 7. ((Diploid/Haploid) Answer: Diploid. 1 set of chromosome from each gamete 8. (F1 Generation/F2 Generation). Answer: F1 Generation
