Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The type of gamete that will be produced by an individual with AABB genotype.
Introduction:
Law of independent assortment states that paired genes on homologous chromosomes tend to sort into gametes independently of other gene pairs during meiosis.
b.
To determine:
The type of gamete that will be produced by an individual with AaBB genotype
Introduction:
The genotype is a particular set of alleles that is carried by an individual’s chromosome. It is the basis of
c.
To determine:
The type of gamete that will be produced by an individual with Aabb genotype.
Introduction:
During meiosis, the independent assortment takes place after crossing over. Independent assortment occurs in metaphase I and anaphase I.
d.
To determine:
The type of gamete that will be produced by an individual with AaBb genotype.
Introduction:
Genotype refers to an individual’s particular set of alleles, which gives rise to an individual’s observable traits.
