Introduction:
When genes pass either through male or female or both the gametes, the process is called uniparental inheritance.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
uniparental inheritance: transmission of genes through either a maternal or a parental gamete-not both.
Explanation of Solution
In case of uniparental inheritance, the transmission of genes only occurs by one of the parents. It can either be from mother or the father. In this type of inheritance, both the parents are not involved in transmission of genes to the offspring.

Introduction:
Gametes having similar types of morphology are said to be isogamous.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
isogasmous: having gametes of similar size.
Explanation of Solution
In biological terms the gametes that are similar morphologically that is in terms of their shape and size are termed as isogamous.
g.

The phrase that describes “threshold effect” among the options given below.
1. transmission of genes through maternal gametes only. |
2. cell that has mtDNA or cpDNAs all of one genotype |
3. having gametes of similar size |
4. a cell with a mixture of different mtDNAs generates a daughter cell with only one kind. |
5. a specific fraction of wild-type organellar DNAs is required for a wild-type phenotype. |
6. cell with mtDNAs or cpDNAs with different genotypes. |
7. Transmission of genes through either a maternal or a parental gamete, but not both. |
Introduction:
When wild type phenotype is expressed with the help of wild type of organellar DNA, the process is called threshold effect.
Answer to Problem 1P
Correct answer:
threshold effect: a specific fraction of wild type organellar DNAs is required for a wild-type phenotype.
Explanation of Solution
The threshold effect refers to an approach where a small amount of wild type DNA is needed for the expression of a wild type phenotype.
