Geneticists sometimes use the following test for the nullness of an allele in a diploid organism: If the abnormal phenotype seen

in a homozygote for the allele is identical to that seen in a heterozygote (where one chromosome carries the allele in question and the homologous chromosome is known to be completely deleted for the gene) then the allele is null. What is the underlying rationale for this test?

Answer:

There will be null activity for a gene within in the deletion, this means if a genotype has similar phenotype. This suggests that mutant allele and the allele with deletion has the same level of activity.

Explanation:

The limitation of such interpretation is that the phenotypes have the enzymatic activity according to a threshold level. This means that the mutant phenotype is visible till the enzymatic activity is lower than a threshold. If the level rises above the threshold the wild type phenotype is observed.

What aspect of chromosome behavior most clearly accounts for Mendel's law of segregation?
svetlana [45]

The given question is incomplete as the group of choices lack the correct answer, however, the correct group of choices are as follows:

A. Movement of sister chromatids to opposite poles at anaphase II of meiosis.

B. Movement of homologous chromosomes to opposite poles at anaphase I of meiosis.

C. Crossing over between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis.

D.  Replication of chromosomes prior to meiosis.

E. Independent alignment of different homologous pairs on the metaphase I spindle.

Answer:

The correct answer is :  Movement of homologous chromosomes to opposite poles at anaphase I of meiosis.

Explanation:

The Mendel's law of segregation says that during formation of gametes the copies of genes segregate from each other so each gamete has equal and only one allele of the gene.

This behavior of homologous chromosome can be seen in anaphase I in meiosis, responsible for the segregation of copies of allele into different copies.

Thus, the correct answer is :  Movement of homologous chromosomes to opposite poles at anaphase I of meiosis.
