1. In dogs, wire hair (A) is dominant to smooth hair ((a).
a). A homozygous wire hair
haired
ed dog is crossed with a
smooth haired dog.

c. What is the genot
genotypic
ypic ratio ffor
or the F1 gener
generation?[1]
ation?[1]
The wired hair gene is dominating 100%, so the ratio is 4:0. 100% Aa and heterozygous.
d. What would the phenot
phenotypic
ypic ratio be for the F2 gener
generation?
ation? [2]
F2 would have the ratio of 3:1, meaning 75% would have wired hair and 25% would have smooth hair.

answer.. [2]
a str
straight
aight hairline, what must the man's genot
genotype
The man’s genotype is heterozygous (Hh) because he has a recessive trait, which they must be heterozygous
to obtain. If said man were to have a child with the woman, the offsprings’ genotype will be Hh and will not
have a recessive trait but due to the genotypes being Hh and hh, there is a 50% chance the children will have
a straight hairline.

erence between Mitosis and Mei
Meiosis
osis
6. Explain the diff
difference
Mitosis’s purpose is to create somatic cells asexually, as well as to grow and repair asexual
reproduction. It occurs in four stages of a single cell division within the interphase. In animals, mitosis turns
into two diploid daughter cells with 46 chromosomes in both cells which are identical.
As for meiosis, it makes gametes (reproductive cells) and allows sexual reproduction. It aids in the
reproduction of diploid organisms dividing into haploid cells and encourages diversity. Meiosis also repairs
genetic defect and unlike mitosis, happens in eight stages instead of four. It’s actions occur within the
nucleuses of primordial germ cells and creates four haploid daughter cells, or two pairs. Meiosis results in 23
chromosomes.

7. Describe the key ev
cycle :
a. Interphase
A phase in which the mitotic divisions of a cell rest. This could also occur meiosis.
c. Prophase
The first phase of mitosis which separates duplicated genetic material in the nucleus of a parent cell. This
produces two identical daughter cells. Chromatin condenses during this phase.
d. Metaphase
The nucleus dissolves, the cell’s chromosomes condense, and they move together to place themselves in the
centre of the dividing cell.
e. anaphase
4th phase of mitosis, it separates the genetic material which has been duplicated from the parent cell.
e. telophase
