Inheritance patterns cannot always be explained by Mendel's models of inheritance. If a pair of homologous chromosomes fails to

separate during meiosis I, select the choice that shows the chromosome number of the four resulting gametes with respect to the normal haploid number (n)?

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) n+1; n+1; n-1; n-1

B) n+1; n-1; n; n

C) n+1; n-1; n-1; n-1

D) n+1; n+1; n; n

Answer:

Option-1

Explanation:

The laws of inheritance were concluded from the result of Mendel's experiment which is based on the fact that gametes are formed. Later research suggested that gametes are formed by the process of meiosis which takes place in two phases and recombination is a characteristic of Meiosis.

If during anaphase I of meiosis I, the alleles fails to separate that is nondisjunction takes place at anaphase I, Then the resulting daughter cells will have unequal distribution of chromosomes.

One daughter cell will receive 1 extra copy of the chromosome while another daughter cell will receive 1 less chromosome therefore ploidy level will be n+1 and n-1.

During meiosis II, 2 more daughter cells will be formed with the same ploidy level therefore in last the meiosis will result in 2 (n+1) and 2 (n-1) cell.

Thus, Option-1 is the correct answer.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The sum of an organism's observable characteristics is their phenotype. A key difference between phenotype and genotype is that, whilst genotype is inherited from an organism's parents, the phenotype is not. Whilst a phenotype is influenced the genotype, genotype does not equal phenotype

Which of Mendels laws or principles explains that traits are passed from parents to offspring individually instead of pairs grou
emmasim [6.3K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The law of independent assortment

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The Principle of Independent Assortment illustrates how different genes individually separate from one another when reproductive cells receive.
  • Independent assortment of genes and their similar traits was first mentioned by Gregor Mendel in 1865 during his studies of genetics in pea plants.
  • When two or more characters are acquired, individual hereditary factors classify independently during gamete production, giving distinct traits an equal opportunity of befalling together.
