To determine:
Whether Mendel’s principles of segregation and independent assortment are relevant today in the age of genomics.
Introduction:
The law of segregation states that at the time of gamete formation the alleles for particular genes segregate from each other. This results that each gamete receives one allele for particular genes. The law of independent assortment states that the genes for a different trait segregate independently at the time of gamete formation.
To determine:
The importance of study of these principles and how can they be used.
Introduction:
The dihybrid cross is the cross between the two organisms that carry the same allele for two different traits. On the basis of dihybrid cross, Mendel gave the law of independent assortment. According to this, the alleles of one gene segregate independently to the allele of another gene. These alleles do not influence the segregation of each other and are randomly packed into different gametes.
