Question

Answer the lab question, “What is the effect of the inheritance of one trait on the inheritance of a second trait?” with a hypothesis. Remember that you can either assume that the two genes are independent or that they are linked. What results would you expect in either case?

Hypothesis:

Answer 1

Sample Hypothesis: If a mouse inherits a particular form of one trait, then the inheritance of the other trait will not be affected because alleles assort independently.

Step-by-step explanation:

Check all correct elements below that you included in your hypothesis.

format: “If . . . then . . . because . . . ”

independent variable: inheritance of trait 1

dependent variable: inheritance of trait 2

reason: alleles assort independently

Answer 2

my asnwer:

If the mouse inherited a form or trait from their parent, then then the inheritance of the mouse's other trait should not be affected because alleles assort independently.

Edg sample response:
