If the A allele represents the dominant allele at a specific locus and a represents the recessive allele for the same locus they cannot occupy the same locus on one chromosome.
A heterozygous individual would have A on one chromosome and a on the other.
The size of a gene is actually quite small in comparison to the size of the chromosome. In fact, in humans, there are hundreds of genes on the same chromosome. Genes are separated by vast stretched of non-coding sequences called introns.
If the alleles are close enough to each other they will have a very low likelihood of crossing over separately during meiosis. The farther apart they are on the chromosome the higher the likelihood they will be separated during crossing over.
theyre a homogolous pair or are independently assorted theyre a homogolous pair or are independently assorted
Genes located on the same chromosome are called linked genes. During crossover, they are more likely to be kept together than genes that are located farther apart.
Its possible
Yes - genes are located on chromosomes.
omg it is gay
Every diploid cell has two alleles for every gene. Segregation means that when these alleles go through meiosis to create gametes, they will segregate from one another, and each of the haploid gametes will end up with only one allele.Independent assortment comes into play when you are looking at how the alleles of two genes separate. As long as each gene lies on a different chromosome, then the alleles of these genes will assort themselves independently of one another when the haploid gametes are formed in meiosis. Each haploid gamete can end up with a different combination of alleles of these two genes.
The answer to this amazing question is alleles!!!! :) alleles
Segregation.
a. the heterozygote should have the dominant phenotype b. the law of independent assortment always prevails c. genes that reside on the same chromosome should be passed together during meiosis dominant alleles should be passed together to the gametes e. segregation leads to new combinations of alleles in the gametes
When the chromosome is :
If the alleles are close enough to each other they will have a very low likelihood of crossing over separately during meiosis. The farther apart they are on the chromosome the higher the likelihood they will be separated during crossing over.
Depending on their relative location on the chromosome the alleles will remain on the same chromosome or be separated in the crossing over part of meotic divsion. The closer they are to each other the more likely they will stay together.
These changes usually occur in meiosis not mitosis. It causes a mixing of the alleles.

meiosis (anaphase II)
No. Meiosis results in halving of chromosome number. Chromosome number after one round of meiosis is half that of original chromosome number. Generally, meiosis takes place during gamete formation. So when two gametes fuse, they lead to restoration of the chromosome number. Hence chromosome number can be maintained in sexually reproducing organisms.
No. Two are from one allele of each chromosome divided with independent assortment (meaning each chromosome could send either allele to either cell and this is random). And there is crossing over between alleles whereby portions of the chromosome are "swapped". This is also random. No two products of meiosis are ever identical... even from the same parent.
