Chapter 12 (Part 2) Explain the principle of independent assortment and its relation to meiosis: The segregation of chromosomes in anaphase I of meiosis explains Mendel’s observation that each parent gives one allele for each trait at random to each offspring‚ regardless of whether the allele is expressed. The segregation of chromosomes at random during anaphase I explains Mendel’s observation that factors‚ or genes‚ for different traits are inherited independently of each other. Apply the rules

discovered by Gregor Mendel in both the monohybrid and dihybrid cross. The ability to test these ratios stems from the use of Mendel’s law of segregation which states that during meiosis allele pairs will separate in gametes so one of each allele is present in a gamete. (Garey‚ et al‚pg 8-13) These single alleles are then combined with the other parental gamete forming a new somatic cell. Another important law is the law of independent assortment which means that different gene pairs will separate

1.) In a plant having two carried alleles for the color of a flower in a gene‚ with P for purple and p for white‚ the three possible combinations which might exist in any one plant are PP making a purple plant‚ pp to make a white plant‚ or Pp resulting in a ‘hybrid’ plant. 2.) Out of the genotypes PP‚ Pp‚ pp‚ the resultant flower colors are (as described above in exercise 1) are purple (for PP‚) purple or purplish-white (for Pp- likely purple as it is dominant‚ or a mixture of the colors‚) or white

Blueprint of Life: Gregor Mendel’s Experiments and the Inheritance of Characteristics How and When Mendel carried out his experiments: a. Briefly outline Mendel’s biography • Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) was an Augustinian monk of Austrian origin and is known as the Father of Genetics. • During his childhood he worked as a gardener‚ and as a young man attended the Olmutz Philosophical Institute. • In 1843 he entered an Augustinian monastery in Brunn‚ Czechoslovakia.

of the child. The mother‚ Andrea‚ and three other fathers were tested by their blood type and Rh factor to determine the blood father. The ABO blood test determines the blood type of subjects by the alleles IA‚ IB‚ and i. The blood alleles IA and IB are codominant over i‚ meaning both of the alleles are dominant over the recessive i. The antigen with the Rh factor is determined by D as dominant or d as recessive‚ with the Rh positive factor as dominant and the Rh negative factor as recessive. In

also hold true for genetics due to the law of independent assortment. Each alternative type of outcome in a gene acts independently of the other possible outcomes. Alleles: Each of the possible forms a gene is called an allele. Most genes will have 2 alleles. Dominant – The allele that appears most frequently. Recessive – The allele that appears least frequently. Dominant v. Recessive: Dominant – Freckles‚ Widows Peak‚ Free Earlobe Recessive – No Freckles‚ Straight Hair Line‚ Attached Earlobe

a 2:2:2:2 or 2:4:2 sequence. From the crossover event‚ the percentage of asci that had this pattern was used to calculate the distance from the gene to centromere in map units. The distance or location is a significant because it can affect the frequency of crossing over and thus recombination. Results suggest there was less recombination‚ meaning there were unusual arrangements such as 3:1:1:3. Introduction The purpose of the Sordaria lab is to demonstrate the outcome of meiosis and its

common view of evolutionary reasoning to date. The first adaptationist programme Gould mentions in the paper is a population that does not undergo selection or adaptation. In this type of population it is possible for the alleles to differentiate and then fix for different alleles. The next adaptationist programme mentioned in Gould’s paper is the method that observes an organism as a “whole ” instead of breaking down them down into separate traits. This type of programme was beneficial in that it

crosses the purple and smooth showed up the most (later on we can see these are the dominant alleles when we plug these values in the Chi-Square test table). If we were to do Punnett Squares (parents of hybrid crosses and two heterozygous parents) to discover the estimation of the outcomes (the percentage of chance the outcome will be a certain thing)‚ we would see that expectations are that purple and smooth alleles will cover 9/16 of the corn and that there is 9/16 probability that the kernel will end

single trait with two alleles. P generation: The true-breeding parents are referred to as the P generation‚ or parental generation. F1 generation: The hybrid of the P generation is the F1 generation‚ or the first filial generation. F2 generation: The offspring of the self-fertilizing F1 generation is the F2 generation‚ or second filial generation. 3.
