The production of gametes by the parents, the formation of zygotes, and the F1 and F2 plants, can be understood from a diagram called :
Net square
Bullet square
Punch square
Punnett square
The correct answer is option (D) : Punnett square
The given graph shows the range of variation among population members, for a trait determined by multiple genes. If this population is subjected to disruptive selection for several generations, which of the following distributions is most likely to result?
A bob of heavy mass \(m\) is suspended by a light string of length \(l\). The bob is given a horizontal velocity \(v_0\) as shown in figure. If the string gets slack at some point P making an angle \( \theta \) from the horizontal, the ratio of the speed \(v\) of the bob at point P to its initial speed \(v_0\) is :
The term - non-mendelian inheritance refers to any pattern of heredity in which features do not separate according to Mendel's laws. These principles describe how features linked with single genes on chromosomes in the nucleus are passed down through generations.
It is a form of incomplete dominance in which both alleles for the same feature are expressed in the heterozygote at the same time. For example, the MN blood types of humans.
In a heterozygote, the dominant allele does not always completely cover the phenotypic expression of the recessive gene, resulting in an intermediate phenotype which is referred to as "incomplete dominance”.
