    Sexual reproduction and mutations increase genetic variation within populations in three main ways. Crossing over and independent assortment during meiosis generate new combinations of genes. Fertilization also leads to variety, as each sperm and egg cell has a unique genetic makeup. There are different patterns of inheritance, including Mendelian dominance where dominant alleles mask recessives, incomplete dominance where alleles are blended, and polygenic traits controlled by multiple gene pairs. Sex is determined by the two sex chromosomes, with an XY genotype producing males and XX females.

    GENECTICS BABY LAB CONCLUSION

    Sexual recombination and mutations would increase the amount of variation within a group. Sexual
    recombination means that half of one parent's genes are combined with half of the other parent's genes
    in the offspring, which results in gene combination that did not previously exist (variety). 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. Where the chromosomes go is completely random. This is called
    independent assortment. The third way to produce variety is fertilization. There are many possibilities in
    fertilization. Fertilization is caused by an egg and a sperm. There are many possible eggs and sperm to
    already make variety in a baby. With one egg and one sperm there will be four possible outcomes by
    adapting it to 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 eye shape. If you get Rr, the phenotype would be a rounded shape because the R was
    dominant. I got rr so my baby will have almond shaped eyes. 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 jaw line. If you get Ss, you will have with a round jaw line. Polygenic traits display
    a continuous distribution preferred to height and color of some parts like eyes and skin. The inheritance
    of polygenic traits doesnt show the phenotypic ratios like that of the Mendelian dominance, but 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 the babys skin color.
    Sex determination is done with two sex chromosomes: XX and XY. The eggs contain one X chromosome
    while sperms 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 a Y chromosome, the offspring would
    be a boy. If the father gives an X chromosome, the offspring would be a girl. An example of this from our
    lab is the coin faces which we used face as X and tail as Y.
