Question

Draw me a picture that displays the laws of segregation and independent assortment

Include all relevant vocabulary terms and especially the following:

-Gamete

-Dominant

-Recessive

-P generation

-F1 and F2 generations

Answer 1

Law of segregation states that during formation of gametes , the alleles for each gene segregate from one another so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.

Law of independent assortment states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes.

If two alleles of an inherited pair differ, then the allele that determines the physical appearance is known as the dominant allele. The other allele having no effect on the phenotype is the recessive allele. in the example below the dominant purple flower allele will hide the effect of recessive white flower.
