In your own words, describe Mendel’s law of segregation. Do notuse the word segregation
Consider an animal with genotype F/f. The possible gametes produced by this individual may be ½ F and ½ f. Choose the correct answer below.
The explanation for the possible gametes produced is Mendel’s first law, of equal segregation.
The explanation for the possible gametes produced is Mendel’s second law, of independent assortment.
The explanation for the possible gametes produced is BOTH Mendel’s first law, of equal segregation AND Mendel’s second law, of independent assortment.
The explanation for the possible gametes produced is NEITHER Mendel’s first law, of equal segregation NOR Mendel’s second law, of independent assortment.
In your own words, describe what Mendel’s law of segregationmeans. Do not use the word segregation in your answer.

- A couple is going to have a baby. They are concerned about sickle cell anemia, which results from having the homozygous recessive combination of the sickle cell gene ("s"), which produces abnormal hemoglobin. Having at least one normal version of the gene ("S") results in normal hemoglobin. The woman is heterozygous, and so is the man. What alleles does mom have? What alleles does dad have?arrow_forwardThe diagrams represent two human somatic cells, one from a female and one from a male, and the letters in the cells represent alleles for two different traits. Male Female B = Brown hair (dominant) b = Blond hair (recessive) E = Brown eyes (dominant) e = Blue eyes (recessive) According to Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, what are the allele combinations expected in each of the sperm cells and what combinations are expected in each of the eggs produced by these cells during meiosis? One sperm fertilized one egg, and the resulting child has blond hair and brown eyes. How is this possible given the parents' genotypes?arrow_forwardMendel's Law of Segregation states that traits can be inherited independently of other traits. For example, the trait for freckles is not linked to a particular hair color. Dark haired individuals could have freckles, much like light haired individuals could have freckles. In order to investigate this, Mendel crossed pea plant parents and followed 2 distinct (separate) traits to see if they would be inherited together. We can also look at this using corn because corn kernels can be different colors, purple (C) or yellow (c) and also different textures, smooth (T) or wrinkly (t). Crosses that follow the inheritance of two traits are called dihybrid (2 trait) crosses, and they require a much larger Punnett Square. Dihybrid Punnett Squares still follow the same format as a monohybrid Punnett square. For this question, study the dihybrid Punnett Square below, and fill in the missing information, and then answer the following questions: (again case matters when writing the allele letters!)…arrow_forward

The inheritance of one characteristic does not affect the inheritance of another characteristic. The inheritance pattern of one offspring will not affect the characteristics in a sibling.
