What monomers make up nucleic acids?

Purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p) in pea plants. If two pea plants were crossed and both were heterozygous for the trait of flower color…   What would the phenotypic ratio of the offspring be?

Sometimes genes for two or more traits are inherited together more often than would be expected because they are located on the same chromosome. These genes are said to be…

Genetics is the study of…

How many nucleic acid strands are found in a RNA molecule?

Snap dragons exhibit  incomplete dominance for the trait of flower color, with red flowers (R) being dominant to white flowers (r).    If two parents with the genotypes Rr & rr are crossed, what phenotypes will be seen in the offspring and in what ratios?

You have discovered a new gene with two alleles that follow simple dominance rules. Which of the following options would be appropriate letters to assign to these alleles?

DNA Replication is _________ which means that each daughter strand contains 1/2 of the original parent strand.

For the trait pod shape, pea plants are either inflated (Q), or constricted (q).  Inflated is the dominant form. In the P generation, A homozygous dominant pea plant is crossed  with a plant possessing the constricted phenotype.   If two individuals from the F1 generation are bred together, What percentage of the F2  generation would you expect to have the constricted phenotype?

What does the “P” in P generation stand for?
