Genetic crosses involving single genes (monohybrid inheritance) can be shown and examined using Punnett squares. The tall allele is dominant and is shown as T. The small allele is recessive and is ...

In this genetic cross, the female alleles are Dd and the male alleles are dd. This cross is known as a backcross. Half of the possible offspring have the allele combination Dd, and the other half ...

Chapter 1 gets the reader up to speed with how to understand the genetic nomenclature describing fly strains and how to do a cross. I wish I had had this book when I was a fly-pushing novice.

Genes play a role in our likelihood of developing depression, and one of the most extensive studies of its kind has now been ...

The degree of shared genetic influences across neuropsychiatric disorders provides opportunities and challenges for the field of psychiatric genetics. Hence, a better understanding of cross-disorder ...

In the real world, a trihybrid cross might not be encountered in its pure theoretical form as described in genetics textbooks, but its principles are applied in several practical contexts ...
