Why Do Offspring Inherit A,a or a Instead of A,a and a,a in Genetic Crosses?

AI Thread Summary
In genetic crosses involving parents with genotypes Aa and aa, the offspring inherit combinations of alleles that result in A,a and a, but not A,a and a,a. The confusion arises from the understanding of haploid gametes, where a parent with genotype aa can only produce gametes with allele 'a'. This means that the possible combinations for the offspring will be A,a from the Aa parent and a from the aa parent. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing the definitions of dominant and recessive genes in understanding inheritance patterns. Overall, the focus is on how gamete formation leads to specific allele combinations in the offspring.

1. If parents contain Aa and aa for example, then why their division doesn't result in
A,a and a,a but only A,a and a ?

I don't know

No context here to associate a meaning to the question.

At the very least quote the exact question.

Don't know what 'division' means here and anything saying
"doesn't result in A,a... but only A,a and..." sounds like having been garbled.

Sounds like diploid genotypes so what is a?
 
Thank you, I am asked what genotypes the children may have from such 2 parents. And I wonder why the haploid gamete genotype of the mother (aa) is only a but not a,a.
A, a are dominant and regressive genes.
 
You may need to read back particularly definitions of the terms. Or http://www.ksu.edu/biology/pob/genetics/defin.htm


This seems now to be about 'haploid genotype'. If the mother (or father) is of is of genotype aa she (or he) can produce only a gametes seems to be all they are saying.

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
