Question

The observed distribution of alleles into gametes is an illustration of _____. An alien with black eyes and green skin. His genotype is uppercase B, lowercase b, uppercase G, and lowercase g.
There are four types of gametes:
1. uppercase B and uppercase G,
2. uppercase B and lowercase g,
3. lowercase b and uppercase G,
4. lowercase b and lowercase g.
A) Mendel's law of segregation only
B) Eimer's principle
C) Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment
D) Mendel's law of independent assortment only
E) Thienemann's rule

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is C. Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment

Explanation:

Mendel's law of segregation states that the two alleles of a gene pair segregate individually at the time of the formation of gametes. They also unite independently during the time of fertilization. We can see that in the scenario mentioned in the question, the alleles segregate independently.

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that the alleles of different genes assort independently at the time of gamete formation. Different traits are passed from the parents to the offsprings irrespective of one another.
