True or False? Independent assortment is the name of the process that ensures that chromosomes are sorted into gametes such that all the paternal chromosomes (the ones you inherited from your father – the “blue” ones) end up in one gamete, while the maternal chromosomes (the ones you inherited from your mother – the “red” ones) end up in another. Select one: True False

The pedigree above shows an inheritance pattern for a trait. Using the sheet you filled out in class on November 6, which statement below is TRUE? - The gene MUST be on an autosomal chromosome -The gene could be on the Y chromosome -The gene could be on the X chromosome -The gene MUST be sex linked
Genetic cross with dependent assortment (linked traits). Repeat the previous problem but assume that the genes are located very close to each other on the same chromosome, and are therefore always linked (passed on together). Assume that in these individuals, each chromosome contains the dominant allele for one gene and the recessive allele for the other gene. Note: this is similar to the dependent assortment example in your notes, but the linkage is different. Construct a 2x2 Punnett square, and answer the questions below: GgBb x GgBb GB Gb gB gb GB GGBB GGBb GgBB GgBb Gb GGBb GGbb GgBb Ggbb gB GgBB GgBb ggBB ggBb gb GgBb Ggbb ggBb ggbb a) From your Punnett square, how many individuals are dihybrids? b) How many individuals are both homozygous recessive for coat color and heterozygous for eye color (ggBb)? c) Fill in the blanks to state the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring:…
Mendelian Genetics The presence of a dimple on the cheek is governed by a dominant gene. A couple had already 4 children with dimpled cheeks.

Certain varieties of chrysanthemums contain 18, 36, 54, 72, and 90 chromosomes; all are multiples of a basic set of nine chromosomes. How would you describe these varieties genetically? What feature do the karyotypes of each variety share? A variety with 27 chromosomes has been discovered, but it is sterile. Why?
What is Mendel’s law of segregation? Allele pairs separate during the formation of gametes, and pair back up upon fertilisation. During meiosis, the alleles of two or more genes separate into the gametes independent of each other. During meiosis. genetic material segregates equally into the resulting gametes. The separation of alleles into different gametes results in genetically distinct offspring. During meiosis, genes that are in close proximity on the genome are more likely to cross over together.
