Summary Introduction

To draw:

The chromosomes having genes M, m, P, p, R, and r.

Introduction:

In most eukaryotic cells, there are two sets of chromosomes that are the consequences of the sexual reproduction. One of the set is inherited from the female parent and the other from the male parent. Each chromosome in one set, together form a homologous pair.  Each eukaryotic organism has a specific number of chromosomes, such as humans have 46, fruit flies have 8, and potatoes have 48 number of chromosomes, each carries genetic information.
