Question
Chapter 19, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To state: The theory of segregation and whether segregation occurs during mitosis and meiosis.
Introduction: Law of segregation was proposed on Mendel’s work on pea plants. Mendel proposed the law of segregation based on the results of monohybrid cross that “two alleles at any locus tend to separate from each other, so they end up in different gametes”.

Q. Diagram the alternate, adjacent-1, and adjacent-2 segregation patterns in anaphase I of meiosis.
Briefly explain what 2n=12 means in terms of mitosis and meiosis.
What are the major differences between mitosis and meiosis? Explain this both in terms of the different steps of each event and with regards to the final products of each event. Remember to mention the events which are unique to meiosis and why they are significant.
