Answer:

Linked Genes Violate the Law of Independent Assortment. Although all of Mendel's pea characteristics behaved according to the law of independent assortment, we now know that some allele combinations are not inherited independently of each other.

Mendel studied the transmission of genes in peas(pisum sativum) that were placed on different chromosomes. During meiosis there are two types of recombinations that make sure the offspring is different from the parent. First intrachromosomial recombination (crossing-over)where genetic material is exchanged between chromosomes. And interchromosomial recombination when homologous chromosomes are separated.

In Mendel's experiments only interchromosomial recombination was considered, but when Thomas Hunt Morgan experimented with Drosophilla Melanogaster he didn't get the same results because he focused on genes that were placed on the same chromosome. In this situation crossing over influenced the results.

What happens to the muscles of people with marfan syndrome

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Muscle fatigue is often reported by patients with Marfan syndrome although myopathy is not classically considered a component of Marfan syndrome [1, 2, 4, 6, 7]. In addition to apparent muscle underdevelopment, some patients report myalgia or cramps suggesting skeletal muscle involvement.
