LIFE 102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 35: Gamete, Chromosome, Mendelian Inheritance
Document Summary
Each pair of alleles segregates independently of each other pair of alleles during gamete formation. *only applies to genes on different, homologous chromosomes or those far apart on the same chromosome. *genes located near each other on the same chromosome tend to be inherited together. Crossing two true-breeding parents differing in two characters. Can determine whether two characters are transmitted to offspring as a package or independently. *mendel"s laws of segregation and independent assortment reflect the rules of probability. *the outcome of one toss of a coin is independent of the next. *alleles of one gene segregate into gametes independently of another gene"s alleles. The probability that two or more independent events will occur together is the product of their individual probabilities. Can be used to determine probability in a f1 monohybrid cross. Segregation in a heterozygous plant is like flipping a coin.
