Question
Chapter 19, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To state: The theory of segregation and whether segregation occurs during mitosis and meiosis.
Introduction: Law of segregation was proposed on Mendel’s work on pea plants. Mendel proposed the law of segregation based on the results of monohybrid cross that “two alleles at any locus tend to separate from each other, so they end up in different gametes”.

(check all that apply) Mitosis produces genetically identical cells, whereas meiosis produces genetically variable (different) cells. Mitosis consists of a single nuclear division, whereas meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions. DNA replication occurs prior to mitosis and meiosis I. Crossing over occurs in both meiosis I and meiosis II. The number of chromsoomes in newly formed cells is the same as the mother cell in both mitosis and meiosis. 00000arrow_forward
