Progeny that exhibit mixing of maternal and paternal alleles on a single chromosome are said to be non-recombinant.   

Given questions #1-10 above, select two statements you identified as “false” and re-write them to make them “true”. As you select a statement to re-write, be sure to write the original question number (Example: “I am re-writing question #7” or simply “#7”). If you do not properly reference your response as instructed, then no points shall be awarded.   When re-writing your false statements, keep each statement to one sentence. You should be able to modify a false statement to make it true by changing just a word or two. Changing a statement to simply include “not” or “don’t” (etc) is not properly re-writing a statement and shall not be accepted. Further, when re-writing your false statements, the modified true statements should pertain directly to course materials, only. Finally, if you re-write more than two statements, only the first two statements will be graded (even if an error is made in re-writing one of the first two statements and a later statement has been re-written properly).
