The arrangement of each pair of homologous chromosomes on the metaphase plate during metaphase I is random with respect to the arrangement of others pairs. The mendel's law of segration, states that allele pairs separate or segregate during gamete formation, and randomly unite at fertilization.

Hello, I noticed that this question was missing its options, so I went online to find them. Here they are:

Which of these descriptions of the behavior of chromosomes during meiosis explains Mendel's law of segregation?

A. The two alleles for each gene separate as homologous chromosomes move apart during anaphase I.

B. The arrangement of each pair of homologous chromosomes on the metaphase plate during metaphase I is random with respect to the arrangements of other pairs.

C. Sister chromatids separate during anaphase II.

Answer:

The correct answer is: A) The two alleles for each gene separate as homologous chromosomes move apart during anaphase I.

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel, considered the father of genetics, studied the process of inheritance by experimenting with pea plants. After seeing the results, he established that <u>each gamete -as a result of meiosis- will receive just one gene copy that is selected randomly</u>. This is what is called Mendel's law of Segregation.

Out of all of the options given, the correct one is option A. Though all of the options describe different events that occur in Meiosis (the cell division process that generates gametes), the only one that explains Mendel's Law of Segregation is option A, because is the option that describes the separation of the two alleles of the gene.

If a mother has a blood type AB+- and her father has a blood type B- and she marries a man with O- blood type. What is the perce
Marina CMI [18]
Genetics, blood type gene has two alleles, each allele has genotype A, B or O. The A and B are dominant, and O is recessive. So allele A combined with allele O is type A. Similarly, BO is type B, AA is type A, BB is type B, OO is type O, and AB is typeAB.

If both parents have type A blood, then the alleles could be AA or AO, thus the allele A frequency is 75%, allele O frequency is 25% for both parents. 
So the chance of alleles OO is 25% × 25% = 6.25%, 
alleles AA is 75% × 75% = 56.25%, 
alleles AO is 75% × 25% = 18.75%, 
alleles OA is 25% × 75% = 18.75%.
Since AA, AO and OA are blood type A, and OO is blood type O, thus their child has 6.25% chance to be blood type O and 93.75% chance to be blood type A. 

The +/- is called the rhesus factor, with + being dominant, and - being recessive.
So if both parents are -, the kids are always -, otherwise the kids might be + or -.
