the genes are probably located close to each other.

∙ 9y agoTwo genes on the same chromosome can assort independently. This is much more likely to happen if they are at different ends of the chromosome.

Why do chromosomes assort independently?
Chromosomes have no direction in how they assort other than that they align in homologous pairs. The individual genes are part of the chromosomes and go wherever the chromosome goes just like the motors of cars go wherever the car goes.
Is it true that the genotypes of the f1 offspring indicated to mendel that genes assort independently?
false
Organisms generally have many genes that seemingly assort independently than the number of their chromosomes this phenomenon is due to?
Crossing over.
Under what conditions will the law of independent assortment not be carried out?
Mendel's principle of independent assortment does not apple to linked genes. (ex. X-linked genes)
What are the properties of linked genes?
Genes are called linked when they are physically close to each other on the same chromosome. Their physical proximity limits or prevents recombination between them at meiosis, so they usually appear to be transmitted together.The distance between linked genes can be estimated by the frequencies of recombinations due from crossing over during Prophase I of meiosis
What are the structures that actually assort independently?
Genes assort independently if they are on different chromosomes. If a pair of genes are on the same chromosome, it depends on how far apart they are to determine the chances of them staying together or moving apart.
The father apart two genes are located on a chromosome?
The farthest apart two genes are located on a chromosome the less likely they are to be inherited together. If two genes are on the same chromosome and rarely assort independently the genes are probably located close to each other.
Why it is chromosomes not individual genes that assort independently?
For two genes to assort independently, they must reside on different chromosomes or be located far from each other.
Why do chromosomes assort independently?
Chromosomes have no direction in how they assort other than that they align in homologous pairs. The individual genes are part of the chromosomes and go wherever the chromosome goes just like the motors of cars go wherever the car goes.
One of the main reasons genes assort independent of one another is that?
Genes on different chromosomes assort independently of each other by dint of the fact that they are on different chromosomes. The closer a gene is to another on the same chromosome the more likely they are to remain together even with crossing over.
Is it true that the genotypes of the f1 offspring indicated to mendel that genes assort independently?
false
If two genes are on the same chromosome a. crosing over occurs frequently b. they assort independently c. they are in the same linkage group d. they are segregated during meiosis?
They are in the same linkage group.
Why didn't Mendel observe linkage?
Mendel did not observe linkage because, by chance, he chose traits whose genes resided on different chromosomes. Genes on different chromosomes assort independently. To answer the question of 'Who discovered gene linkage?'...The answer is British geneticists William Bateson and Reginald Punnett.
What assorts independently during meiosis?
Genes assort independently if they are on different chromosomes. If a pair of genes are on the same chromosome, it depends on how far apart they are to determine the chances of them staying together or moving apart.
Organisms generally have many genes that seemingly assort independently than the number of their chromosomes this phenomenon is due to?
Crossing over.
Allels separate from each other so that each gamete carries a single copy of a gene in what?
Linked genes are genes for different traits that are on the same chromosome do not assort independently. Therefore most of the time they move together during Meiosis one instead of separating from each other
Are genes located far apart on a chromosome more or less likely to assort independently?
A gene is a unit of heredity in a living organism. It is normally a stretch of DNA that codes for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. All proteins and functional RNA chains are specified by genes.
