Chapter 13, Problem 9TYU

SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY The diagram in quest ion 6 represents just a few of the chromosomes of a meiotic cell in a certain person. Assume the freckles gene is located at the locus marked F, and the hair-color gene is located at the locus marked H, both on the long chromosome. The individual from whom this cell was taken has inherited different alleles for each gene ("freckles" and "black hair" from one parent, and "no freckles" and "blond hair" from the other). Predict allele combinations in the gametes resulting from this meiotic event. (It will help if you draw out the rest of meiosis and label the alleles by name.) List other possible combinations of these alleles in this individual’s gametes.
