Summary Introduction
To determine: The origin of different alleles during crossing-over event.
Introduction. Law of segregation proposes that the alternative forms of the genes that are known as alleles separate during the formation of gametes. These gametes get one of the alleles that constitute the gene. Thus, during the formation of the zygote, these independent gametes come to fuse together to provide the allele pair to the offspring.

- A 2n=4 plant is heterozygous at two genes, one controlling plant height (T = tall, t= short) and one controlling disease resistance (D = resistant, d = susceptible). The plant height gene is located on one chromosome, and the disease resistance gene is located on the other chromosome. In the cells below, draw to two possible arrangements of the chromosomes at metaphse I of meiosis. Hint: look at Figure 2.17 in your textbook for an example of how chromosomes can be arranged at metaphase I. Be sure to label the alleles present at the genes on the two chromosomes in each drawing. 00arrow_forwardHow many chromatid doublets are there in the karyotype #9?arrow_forwardWhat would be the chromosome number of progeny resulting from the following crosses in wheat (see Figure )?
