Question

1. Genotype, genepool, allele, genome, mutation. Arrange these terms from smallest entity to largest. (For example: letteràwordà sentenceàparagraphàchapterànovel.)

2. Is the Law of Segregation supported by events in mitosis, meiosis, or both? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer 1

Genotype: collection of genes responsible for the various genetic trait.

Genepool: it is the total number of genes of every individual in a population.

Allele: allele is the one if the form of a gene which can be a dominant gene or recessive gene.

Genome: the hereditary information of organism is encoded in its DNA.

Mutation: change in the structure of gene making different variant form which will be given off to next generation/offspring.

Order of the entity from the smallest to the largest.

Mutation<< genome< allele<genotype< gene pool.

Answer 2

Law of Segregation. Mendel's law of segregation states that: “During the formation of gamete, each gene separates from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.”

Law of segregation is supported only by meiosis in not mitosis wherein which the homologous chromosomes with their different versions of each gene are segregated into daughter nuclei.

Please give a thumbs up, if it helped you. Thank you.
