Chapter 3, Problem 12P

Summary Introduction

To determine: The origin of different alleles during crossing-over event.

Introduction. Law of segregation proposes that the alternative forms of the genes that are known as alleles separate during the formation of gametes. These gametes get one of the alleles that constitute the gene. Thus, during the formation of the zygote, these independent gametes come to fuse together to provide the allele pair to the offspring.
