    There are three main ways that sexual reproduction produces variety in offspring: 1) crossing-over during meiosis exchanges random alleles between chromosomes, 2) independent assortment randomly determines which maternal and paternal chromosomes come together during fertilization, and 3) the random fusion of one egg and one sperm during fertilization leads to many potential combinations. Additionally, patterns of inheritance like Mendelian dominance, incomplete dominance, polygenic traits, and sex determination influence the expression of traits in offspring.

    Genetics Baby Lab Conclusion


    Sexual reproduction produces variety in offspring by three different ways. The three
    ways are by crossing-over, independent assortment and fertilization. Crossing-over is when
    random alleles are exchanged when aligning in the middle during meiosis. When exchanged, the
    allele (gene) is traded for another allele. Alleles have traits in them which can change the
    outcome of offspring.
    During Metaphase I, the chromosomes align in the middle. However, where the
    chromosomes go is completely random. This is what we call independent assortment. The pairs
    can be put in whatever order.
    The last way to produce variety is fertilization. There are many possibilities in
    fertilization. Fertilization is caused by a random egg and a random sperm. There are many
    possible eggs and sperm to already make variety in a baby. However with one egg and one sperm,
    there are already four possible outcomes by using a punnett square.
    There are also different patterns of inheritance as well. The different patterns of
    inheritance are the Mendelian dominance, incomplete dominance, polygenic traits, and sex
    determination. The Mendelian dominance states that recessive alleles will always be masked by
    dominant alleles. An example of this from our lab is the widows peak. If you get Ww, the
    phenotype would be a rounded shape because the W was dominant. I had ww so I had a straight
    hairline.
    Incomplete dominance is when one allele doesnt completely dominate another allele.
    This results in the two alleles being blended. An example of this from our lab is the nose length.
    If you get Ll, you will end up with a medium sized nose.
    Polygenic traits display a continuous distribution (height, color). The inheritance of
    polygenic traits doesnt show the phenotypic ratios like that of the Mendelian dominance, though
    each of the genes contributing to the trait is inherited. It is basically when there are several types
    of gene pairs that could go with one trait. An example of this from our lab is hair color. There are
    many gene pairs that you can use for one trait.
    Sex determination is done with two sex chromosomes: XX and XY. All eggs contain one
    X chromosome while sperm may contain either an X or a Y chromosome. Depending on which
    chromosomes each parent gives will determine the babys gender. If the father gives an X
    chromosome, the offspring would be a girl. If the father gives a Y chromosome, the offspring
    would be a boy. An example of this from our lab is the coin flip which we used the sides of the
    coin to represent X and Y.
