AliceT Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I have been given a genetics assignment to do, 1500 word essay, one of the points my teacher has given me to write about is: 'heredity character and material ( chromosomes, genes, alleles)' does anybody know what he means by heredity character? (i am unable to clarify it with him because he is away) can anybdoy help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ennui Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 That's a really strange and vague title. I have no idea what he could mean. I don't think you'd be to blame if you just did what you thought was best - if you get a bad grade, complain about the ambiguity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceT Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 i agree, i think he must mean heredity characters such as chromosomes, gense, alleles etc, rather than and. but im glad someone agrees with me! i just wanted to check that i wasnt missing anything in regards to 'heredity characters'. thankyou for the reply!

CharonY Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I would rather think that hereditary character refers to hereditary phenotypes and with material the underlying genetic material is meant. I assume that you should write an assay regarding the connection of phenotype and genotype. Maybe include the experiments from Griffith, Hershey and Chase as intro.
