Question

Geneticists have discovered the existence of meiotic drive genes, which have alleles that, when present in a heterozygous state, are able to become incorporated into much more than 50 percent of the gametes. As a result, the offspring ratios are not what Mendel would have predicted. Which statement about these meiotic drive genes is true

Answer 1

The given question is incomplete as the statements are not give, however, the the answer is given on the general knowledge about the question:

Answer:

The correct answer would be - They violate the law of equal segregation.

Explanation:

According the first law of Mendel, the law of segregation that says that during gamete formation, the two alleles, present at a gene locus segregate from one another and each gamete has 50% of containing any of two allele.

In meiotic drive genes, the alleles present are if present in a heterozygous state, are able to become incorporated into much more than 50 percent of the gametes which is against the law of segregation.

The correct answer would be - They violate the law of equal segregation.
