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.
Answer:
The correct answer is - due to the law of segregation.
Explanation:
In the given case the genotype of Rr and as we know R is a dominant characteristic for round seeds and r represents the recessive allele for wrinkled seeds in a pea plant. So if a plant has Rr in its genotype it means it is a phenotypically round pea plant due to dominance in this heterozygous case.
The law of segregation states that two alleles of a gene of a specific trait will be distributed randomly and there is an equal chance of each allele to end up in the gametes, similarly in this case both alleles can be segregated to gametes and it is a random process.
