Which of the following structures assort independently? a.genes
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.
No they do not
No they do not
For two genes to assort independently, they must reside on different chromosomes or be located far from each other.
Yes, codominant alleles assort independently during Mendelian inheritance. This means that the inheritance of one pair of alleles does not influence the inheritance of another pair of alleles on different chromosomes. Each allele segregates independently into gametes during meiosis.
No, linked genes do not assort independently. Linked genes are located close together on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together, rather than independently assorting during meiosis.
No, genes on the same chromosome do not assort independently. They are often inherited together as a unit due to their physical proximity on the chromosome, a phenomenon known as genetic linkage.
genes assort independently during gamete formation.
Yes, chromosomes can assort independently during genetic inheritance, a process known as independent assortment. This occurs during meiosis, where homologous chromosomes randomly align and separate into different gametes, leading to genetic variation in offspring.
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.
Similar structures that evolved independently are called analogous structures, or analogies.
