In an XX mammal, which X chromosome will be inactivated?

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes are separated into different gametes. Which gamete a chromosome ends up in is random. This is Mendel’s Principle of:

All the traits that Mendel studied demonstrated what dominance pattern?

Sepia eyes (sp) and ebony body (eb) are two fruit fly mutations. You cross a wild type female fly with a sepia-eyed, ebony bodied male fly. All of the resulting offspring were phenotypically wild type. Offspring of the F2 generation had the following phenotypes: Sex Phenotype Number female Wild type 75 female Sepia/ebony 25 male Wild type 75 male Sepia/ebony 25   Are these genes sorting independently?

Sepia eyes (sp) and ebony body (eb) are two fruit fly mutations. You cross a wild type female fly with a sepia-eyed, ebony bodied male fly. All of the resulting offspring were phenotypically wild type. Offspring of the F2 generation had the following phenotypes: Sex Phenotype Number female Wild type 75 female Sepia/ebony 25 male Wild type 75 male Sepia/ebony 25   How were you able to determine your answer to the previous question?

The events of the last four questions will continue until what happens?

Based on these data, sepia eyes and ebony body are _________ to the wild type trait.

When homologous chromosomes separate during meiosis, all the paternal chromosomes go into one daughter cell and all the maternal chromosomes go into another daughter cell.

Duplication of DNA occurs: 

(Still putting the events of transcription in the correct order.) Fourth…
