Question

Would would be the possible gamete combinations?

Answer 1

Answer:

1/4 WR; 1/4 wr; 1/4 wR; 1/4 Wr

Explanation:

The principle of independent assortment indicates how different genes independently separate from one another when gametic (reproductive) cells develop. When a cell divides by meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed to daughter cells, thereby different chromosomes segregate independently of each other. In consequence, each gamete has a unique combination of chromosomes. In this case, the two genes are on different homologous chromosomes, thereby gene variants (alleles) will be randomly distributed to daughter cells during meiosis (anaphase I) and thus the expected proportion of gamete genotypes will be 1/4 WR, 1/4 wr, 1/4 wR, 1/4 Wr.
