Mendel used dihybrid crosses in an effort to uncover more information about inheritance patterns. From this he developed two laws of inheritance. Which of the following accurately described the law of segregation?*1 pointThis law states that alleles, on different chromosomes, will be inherited independently of one another.This law states that alleles, on the same chromosome, will be inherited independently of one anotherThis law states that gametes carry two alleles for each trait to ensure adequate inheritance by offspring.This law states that gametes each carry only one allele for a trait, to be combined when fertilization occurs.
Question
Mendel used dihybrid crosses in an effort to uncover more information about inheritance patterns. From this he developed two laws of inheritance. Which of the following accurately described the law of segregation?*1 pointThis law states that alleles, on different chromosomes, will be inherited independently of one another.This law states that alleles, on the same chromosome, will be inherited independently of one anotherThis law states that gametes carry two alleles for each trait to ensure adequate inheritance by offspring.This law states that gametes each carry only one allele for a trait, to be combined when fertilization occurs.
Solution
The law of segregation accurately described is: "This law states that gametes each carry only one allele for a trait, to be combined when fertilization occurs."
Similar Questions
The law of segregation deduced by Mendel states thatMultiple choice question.the two alleles of each gene segregate from each other during gamete formation.the alleles of two separate genes assort independently from each other during gamete formation.the alleles of two separate genes are linked, such that they segregate together into gametes.the two alleles of each gene are packaged into the same gamete, such that they do not separate.
Although Mendel did not know that homologous chromosomes separate during meiosis I such that the alleles of one gene are packaged into separate gametes, he developed the law of ______, which deduced this phenomenon.
Mendel's law of independent assortment states that alleles of different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation. Which of the following statements best describes this principle?*1 pointAlleles of different genes are always inherited in a dominant manner.Alleles of different genes are linked and cannot be separatedAlleles of different genes are randomly assorted into gametes.Alleles of different genes are always inherited together.30. What is meant by the term "allele"?*1 pointA specific version of a gene that can vary.The combination of two different genes.The physical expression of a gene.The process of genetic recombination.
Mendel's law of segregation indicates thatgametes are diploid.more gametes carrying the dominant allele are produced than gametes carrying the recessive allele.gametes have one allele copy for each gene.two alleles segregate into each gamete.
