You are studying five traits in Pentids, an amazonian flying beetle. You have identified each trait as belonging to separate alleles located on separate chromosomes and have categorized those alleles as A, B,C, D, and E, respectively. After years of controlled breeding experiments, you have developed your Pentid lines to the point where you can control their genotypes with certainty. You perform the following cross:

P: (AaBbCcDdEe) x (AAbbCCDdEe)

1. the passing of is the basis of heredity. 2. our encode the instructions that define our traits. 3. each of us has thousands of genes, which are made of and reside in our chromosomes. 4. in addition to our genes, the we live in also define our traits. 5. humans have two complete sets of chromosomes. 6. when parents conceive a child, each parent contributes set of chromosomes. 7. every child receives of its chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. 8. this transfer takes place at when the father’s sperm joins the mother’s egg. 9. while most cells in our bodies have two sets of chromosomes, or a total of egg and sperm each have chromosomes. 10. when egg and sperm unite they create a single cell called a 11. each parent contributes complete set of chromosomes to their child. 12. since the parents contribute the chromosomes to each new child, every child inherits a unique set of chromosomes. 13. as a result, every baby will have a combination of traits.
