Which of the following statements is true about the molecular basis of Mendel's second law? The random attachment of the sister chromatids and the split of them into different daughter cells during the second round of cell division in Meiosis ensure Mendel's second law of independent assortment of alleles. O The random attachment of the sister chromatids and the split of them into different daughter cells during the first round of cell division in Meiosis ensure Mendel's 2nd law. O The molecular basis of independent assortment of alleles is the segregation of sister chromatids during the second round of cell division in Meiosis. The molecular basis of independent assortment of alleles is the segregation of homologous chromosomes during the second round of cell division in Meiosis. The molecular basis of independent assortment of alleles is the segregation of homologous chromosomes during the first round of cell division in Meiosis.

A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
In general terms, genes found on the same chromosome are linked, and will appear to defy Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment. This law states that alleles (Links to an external site.) for different traits (Links to an external site.) are transmitted (Links to an external site.) to offspring (Links to an external site.) independently of one another. Functionally, this means that in a dihybrid testcross, in which a heterozygote is crossed to a double homozygous recessive individual, the expected 1:1:1:1 ratio will not be obtained. Instead, lower than expected numbers of non-parentals will result, because these non-parental flies are the result of recombination during synapsis. Interestingly, and functionally important in this exercise, synapsis only occurs in female fruit flies, requiring that the heterozygote in any study of linkage must be the female. Determining the relative positions of linked genes on a chromosome can be accomplished by calculating the frequency of…
Mendel crossed two Pea plants for plant height and flower color Tall plant (T) is dominant to Short Plant (t). Purple Flower (P) is dominant to white flower (p). Using the following information perform the dihybrid cross using punnett squares that will predict all possible genotypes of the offspring and list the number and description of the phenotypes of the offspring. A. One plant homozygous dominant for plant height and flower color crossed with another plant homozygous recessive for plant height and heterozygous for flower color.
Mendel crossed peas having round seeds and yellow cotyledons (seed leaves) with peas having wrinkled seeds and green cotyledons. All the F1 plants had round seeds with yellow cotyledons. Diagram this cross through the F2 generation, using both the Punnett square and forked-line, or branch diagram, methods.

Which of the following is a conclusion in Mendel' independent assortment law? options: Genes controlling different traits segregate independently of each. Gametes from each plant have two copies of the gene for each trait. An organism's homologous chromosomes segregate from each other during gamete formation. The two genes for a trait carried by an organism may be identical to one another
Mendel discovered that pea traits were inherited as unit factors occurring in pairs, these distributing to subsequent generations randomly through the gametes. The unit factors would not have been paired ifA) the temperature had been differentB) pea plants had not been diploidC) peas had been self-fertileD) The statement is false: unit factors occur singly in Mendel’s sweet peasE) The statement is false: unit factors occur in sets of three in Mendel’s sweet peas Which of the following statements about the theory of epigenesis is incorrect? A) William Harvey was its main proponent back in the 1500s and 1600s.B) It recast the focus of life to the egg, away from male contributions which had dominated theory for centuriesC) It was incompatible with the notion of preformationism, which had been popular for some timeD) It suffered from teleological notions in that it argued that the organism developed with a certain drive in a certain direction as if it knew where it was going or had a…
Rough coat (R) is dominant over smooth coat (r) in guinea pigs, and black coat (B) is dominant over white (b). This pair of contrasting traits obeys both of Mendel’s laws. If a homozygous rough black is mated with a homozygous smooth white, give the appearance of each of the following: F1; F2; offspring of F1 mated with smooth, white parent; offspring of F1mated with rough, black parent.
In Mendel’s 1866 publication as shown in Figure 1-4,he reports 705 purple-flowered (violet) offspring and224 white-flowered offspring. The ratio he obtained is3.15:1 for purple: white. How do you think he explainedthe fact that the ratio is not exactly 3:1?

Which of the following is an explanation for independent assortment of alleles on different chromosomes (Mendel's second law)? A. Chromosomes can have different functions in various types of cells of the same organism. B. In metaphase I, alignment of 1 pair of replicated chromosomes does not affect the alignment of another pair. C. Each chromosome is capable of a different function. D. In prophase I, which chromosomes pairs with which other one is completely random. E. Chromosomes are divided into daughter cells in a random fashion.
