Chapter 11, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Mendel’s law of independent assortment states that “when two or more pairs of contrasting characters are brought together in a gamete, the allele responsible for different pairs segregate independently from each other during gametogenesis”.

What can you conclude from these two cases? 1.Sex determination depends primarily on the combination of sex chromosomes and the presence of SRY gene. 2.X and Y chromosomes can’t pair up during meiosis because they are not true homologous chromosomes. 3.Nonreciprocal crossover could result in translocation of the SRY gene between X and Y chromosome. 4. The SRY gene has a key role to determine maleness. 5.The Y chromosome contains a gene that determine maleness.arrow_forward
