In the study of biology, the chromosome theory of inheritance (often referred to as the Sutton-Boveri theory) explains how chromosomes are the carriers of genetic material that we receive from our respective parent cells. What do you know of how chromosomal inheritance works? Let’s find out.
The phenotype most commonly found in nature
The dominant allele
Small letter for recessive, captial letter for dominant
The trait found on the x chromosome
A party animal
Nondisjunction
Deletion
Parental imprinting
Monoploidy
Independent assortment
Genes are linked
The domiant organism was homozygous
Crossing over has occurred
The genes are 25 map units apart
The genes are not linked
Mother
Father
Mother only if she is colorblind
Father only if he is colorblind
Mother only if she is not colorblind
Genes are located on chromosomes
Chromosomes segregate during meoisis
Chromosomes undergo independent assortment during gamete formation
Mendel's Laws of Inheritance relate to the behavior of chromosomes in meiosis
