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:
DONE

Answer:

Hypothesis: An inherited characteristic is not able to interfere in the inheritance of another characteristic in the same organism.

Step-by-step explanation:

An inherited feature does not interfere with another inherited feature. This is because the genes are inherited by joining the gametes, which contain the genes of the organism's parents. Each gene is distributed in gametes completely randomly and independently. Inheritable characteristics are represented by these genes. In this way, genes are inherited independently, they do not interfere with inheritable characteristics. However, in genes inherited together, we can consider that only one inheritable trait would be presented, since these genes would interfere in the construction of another trait. This can be studied through hybrid crossings in living beings.
