The alleles of 2 or more different gene pairs assort independently of one another.


Do multiple assort independently?

No they do not


What does assort independently mean?

L = long hair ; l = short hairS = white spotted ; s=not white spottedthis example shows that the long hair and white spots alleles are dominant, and short hair and not spotted are not dominate.assorted independence means that there are two alleles one will always be dominate.example Ll or Ss


Do multiple allels assort independently?

No they do not


Explain how two genes on the same chromosome can still assort independently?

Two genes on the same chromosome can still assort independently if they are far enough apart from each other. During meiosis, crossing over between homologous chromosomes can occur, leading to the exchange of genetic material between the two genes. As a result, the alleles of the two genes can recombine and assort independently during meiosis, leading to new combinations of alleles in the offspring.


Which structures assort independently?

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.


Alleles found on the same chromosomes are what?

Alleles found on the same chromosome are said to be linked. This means they tend to be inherited together and show a lower rate of recombination. Linked genes are inherited as a group and do not assort independently during meiosis.


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.


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.


Blood type in humans is controlled by which alleles?

Human blood type is determined by codominant alleles.


Do linked genes assort independently?

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.
