by meiosis?
D. Explain the genotypic and phenotypic ratios predicted when performing a monohybrid
and a dihybrid cross of heterozygotes?
E. How can you use the product rule and sum rule to calculate the probability of a
particular genotype resulting from crossing parents of specific genotypes?
Which of the following best describes the concept of independent assortment?
Group of answer choices
a. 2n, where n = number of chromosomes
b. Gametes receive one of each chromosome pair but which chromosome it receives is decided randomly
c. Refers to the Mendelian genetics
d. Independent assortment always occurs at prophase 2 in eukaryotic organisms.
e. Is the process of specified segregation and assortment of chromosomes in an organism.
What gametes are produced by the following organisms:
a. Genotype YyRr, if Y and R are on different chromosomes
b. Genotype YyRr, if dominant Y and R are on the same chromosome, no crossing over
c. Genotype YyRr, if dominant Y and recessive r are on the same chromosome, no crossing over
d. Genotype YyRr, if dominant Y and R are on the same chromosome, 50% crossing over
