- What is segregation and segregation distortion with major differencesIn your own words, explain the laws of segregation and independent assortment from a molecular perspective. Alternatively, create your own analogy to illustrate these laws.We have learned that Mendel's Law of Segregation is not really applicable to alleles found on sex chromosomes. But does it apply to the actual sex chromosomes? Explain.
- What is the law of Segregation? A) Genes segregate during Mitosis B) Trait are inherited separately C) During Meiosis each Allele for a specific trait separate and are passed down separatelyDescribe the Principles of Segregation and Independent Assortment in terms of Genetics. How do these Principles express during Meiosis?What are the causes of genetic variation? Give specific examples.
