5 0

Answer:

independent assortment occurs in metaphase I and anaphase I

Explanation:

Independent assortment is the development of haphazard combinations of chromosomes in meiosis and of genes on separate pairs of homologous chromosomes through the passage as stated by the laws of probability i.e  one of each diploid pair of homologous chromosomes pairs into each gamete independently of each other pair. This principle describes and demonstrates how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develops.

Part of the significance of independent assortment is to produce new genetic combinations that increase genetic variations within a population.

To increase the genetic diversity in the offspring.

What is the probability that the first offspring from the cross listed below will be heterozygous for all loci?
Tanya [424]

Answer and Explanation:

<u>Cross:</u> aa Bb dd Ee x AA bb Dd Ee

We can calculate the probability of getting heterozygous individuals in the progeny by using the <u>product rule</u>. Assuming that these four genes <u>assort independently</u> (<em>events that occur independently from each other</em>), we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

1) aa     x     AA

F1) 4/4=1 Aa

2) Bb    x    bb

F1) ½ bb

     ½ Bb

3) dd    x    Dd

F1) ½ dd

     ½ Dd

4) Ee    x    Ee

F1) ¼ EE

    2/4 = ½ Ee

     ¼ ee

So, to know what the probability is that the F1 of being heterozygous for all loci, we must multiply the respective individual probabilities of getting a heterozygous genotype, like this:  

1 Aa   x   ½ Bb   x    ½ Dd    x    ½ Ee = 1/8 AaBbDdEe
