How is the sex of a newborn determined in humans?

संक्षेप में उत्तर

उत्तर

Sex of a newborn in humans is genetically determined, that is, genes inherited from the parents determine the sex of a baby. If a newborn inherits one X chromosome from mother and X chromosome from father, this newborn will become a girl and if a newborn inherits one X chromosome from mother and Y chromosome from father, this newborn will become a boy.

Mendel’s Law of independent assortment holds good for genes situated on the ______.


Two genes ‘A’ and ‘B’ are linked. In a dihybrid cross involving these two genes, the F1 heterozygote is crossed with homozygous recessive parental type (aa bb). What would be the ratio of offspring in the next generation?


In the F2 generation of a Mendelian dihybrid cross the number of phenotypes and genotypes are ______.


Each gamete carry ______.


Assertion: When the two genes in a dihybrid cross are situated on the same chromosome, the proportion of parental gene combinations is much higher than the nonparental type.

Reason: Higher parental gene combinations can be attributed to crossing over between two genes.
