it's genotypes not gametes

Which organism can produce the highest number of genetically different gametes out of a hare hyena kangaroo or a meerkat?
i think it is meerkat
What is the process of making gametes called?
Male gametes* --->Meiosis. (basic pre-biology in most all biology books)
What is the relationship between meiosis and fertilization?
Meiosis is the replication of sexual gametes. The gametes are produced during meiosis and are used to fertilize other gametes in reproduction.
What forms when two gametes join?
Provided one of the gametes is an egg and the other is a sperm, a Zygote is formed.
When a female and male gametes unite is called?
it is called fertilization and the female and male gametes form a zygote. (:
How traits are inherited through alleles?
By sexual reproduction the parental alleles through gametes are inherited in the subsequent generation
What information does a Punnett square provide?
Possible alleles in the gametes of the parents
What was medels specific law where a diploid organism transfers only one allele to its gametes?
The law of segregation, which states that the two alleles for an inherited trait segregate (separate from each other) during gamete formation and end up in different gametes.
When alleles on homologous chromosomes move into different gametes during meiosis this demonstrates?
Segregation
How are gamete?
Gametes are produced by meiosis. If the male and female gametes are produced by two different individuals, sexual reproduction combines inherited
When alleles for different characteristics are on separate chromosomes they are distributed to gametes independetly this observation summariced the law of?
Segregation.
Why do gametes have different combinations of alleles?
Crossing over and random alignment of chromosomes
How many different types of sex cells can be produced by AabbCCdd?
Only two different gametes (sex cells) can be created using a combination of AabbCCdd. This is because Aa is the only gene with two different alleles (A and a). The other genes have two copies of the same allele - therefore that is all that the gamete can contain. So the two different gametes possible are: AbCd and abCd
What happens to alleles when gametes form?
When gametes are formed through a process called reproduction, where a male's gamete combines with a female gametes' cell and produces a zygote; the alleles for that are varied in different fertilized zygotes. For example a zygote could have two different alleles from the gene from the male and the female; G and g, thus it would be heterozygous. However at the same time another zygote could have the gene of GG which would be homozygous and pure green.
What is difference between segregation and independent assortment?
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.
Principle of independent assortment?
Independent assortment is the random assortment of chromosomes during the production of gametes. This results in genetically unique gametes. The gametes are genetically different to the one another. This leads to genetic variation.
During the formation of gametes in a hybrid tall plantthe allele and the short allele stay together?
During the formation of gametes in a hybrid tall plant, the alleles for tall and short height do not stay together. They segregate and assort independently during meiosis, resulting in a random combination of alleles in the gametes. This allows for a variety of possible genetic combinations in the offspring.
