Question
Chapter 17.2, Problem 2CS
Summary Introduction
To describe: The meaning of the term “alleles segregate”.
Introduction: Sexual reproduction is the process of producing a living organism by combining genetic information from two separate organisms one male and another female. In sexual reproduction, the most important part is gamete formation. The process of gamete formation is called meiosis.
Summary Introduction
To describe: The way by which allele segregation is related to meiosis.
Introduction: Gamete formation is an important part of sexual reproduction and segregation is an important step in gamete formation. Segregation is the movement of two closely or attached bodies in the opposite direction.

Problem Solving:
In Drosophila, the gene that controls red eye color (dominant) versus white eye color is on the X chromosomes. What are the expected phenotypic results if a heterozygous female is crossed with a white-eyed male?
In cats, S = short hair; s = long hair; XC = black coat; Xc = yellow coat; XCXc = tortoiseshell (calico) coat. If a long-haired yellow male is crossed with a tortoiseshell female homozygous for short hair, what are the expected phenotypic results?

- What is a meaning of genetic linkage? How this test is used? Describe the meaning of SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) and genetic distance identification which is used in genetic analysis. Knowing that recombination events occur more or less at random along the length of chromosomes, in which case the recombination will occur more frequently between the genes during meiosis: if two genes are closer together two genes are far away from each other there is no impact based on location of two genes.
