Question

In which of the following situations will alleles of two genes not assort
independently at meiosis I?
The two genes are 1 map unit apart on the same chromosome
A translocation moved one of the genes to a different chromosome
Non-disjunction led to the production of one aneuploid gamete among thousands
produced by one parent of a cross
One of the genes is on the X chromosome

Expert Solution

Step 1: Independent assortment

Independent assortment is one of the fundamental principles of genetics proposed by Gregor Mendel. It refers to the process during meiosis (the formation of reproductive cells, or gametes) in which alleles (different versions of a gene) for different traits segregate, or assort, into gametes independently of each other.
