- Explain how Mendel’s laws apply to multifactorial traits.arrow_forwardWhen Gregor Mendel was working in the mid 1800s, scientists had not yet discovered chromosomes or meiosis. However, we now understand how Mendel's principles are rooted in the events of meiosis. As an example of this, state Mendel's principle of independent assortment and explain how it relates to independent assortment in meiosis.arrow_forwardAssume that genes A and B are on two different chromosomes. Describe Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment by using an individual with the genotype AaBb as an example.arrow_forward
- Explain how the mechanics of meiosis and the movement of homologous chromosomes underlie Mendel's principles of segregation and independent assortment.arrow_forwardMendel proposed that every character is controlled by two factors. What are those two factors ?arrow_forwardDraw out the guinea pig cross that Castle uses to illustrate Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment. Draw both the phenotypic states and the genotypic states of the F2.arrow_forward
