Alleles for the same trait are separated from each other during what process?

Meiosis I


This child is you simply the best of you you could conceive a hundred times and never achieve the same results explain this statement using the terms homologous chromosomes and alleles?

I had to do this too. Because of Meiosis, each egg and sperm cell have completely different alleles that are never the same. That is because during meiosis, the homologous chromosomes line up together during synapsis and then they cross over. Crossing over allows each new gamete to be genetically different from the other. That is why they say they could never achieve the same results even if they conceive a hundred times. Hope this helped


How is independent assortment different from cross over?

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.


How does meiosis serve as the basic of genetic variation?

In meiosis, genes crossover, there is independent assortment (each pair of alleles segregates independently of each other pair of alleles during gamete formation), and the law of segregation (the two alleles for a heritable character segregate during gamete formation and end up in different gametes (daughter cells)). In meiosis, what genes an offspring inherits from each parent is decided. In humans, there are at least 8 million different variations of children.


Is this true or false when alleles segregate from each other they join?

False. Because segregation is a separation of alleles during gamete formation.

Is it true or false that during meiosis the two alleles for each gene stay together?

False. During meiosis, the two alleles for each gene can separate and be distributed to different gametes. This is known as Mendel's law of independent assortment, which allows for new combinations of alleles to be formed in offspring.

What would most likely to the alleles for two different traits during meiosis if they were located on the same chromosome?

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.


What is the seperation of alleles?

The law of segregation of alleles, the first of Mendel's laws, stating that every somatic cell of an organism carries a pair of hereditary units (now identified as alleles) for each character, and that at meiosis the pairs separate so that each gamete carries only one unit from each pair. This is called the law of segregation.


What would most likely happen to the alleles for two different traits during meiosis if they were located on the same chromosomes?

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.


How many allels per gene are there in each stage of meiosis?

there are the same number of alleles per gene in each stage of meiosis since the number of alleles per gene only tells the possible differences in a gene, such as the alleles for blue, green, and brown eyes being the possible traits to be combined.

How does meiosis contribute to the variation in a species?

During meiosis crossing over takes place between homologous chromosomes. Thus genetic material get interchanged and 50 % new combinations are obtained after each meiotic cell division. Thus, meiosis brings heritable variation in the gametes.


How is meiosis related to genes?

Meiosis allows a cell to form into 4 cells (by meiosis 1 (which is literally mitosis) and meiosis 2 (mitosis without DNA replication)) in meiosis 1, the cells exchanges DNA information between homologous pairs, this allows genes to be transferred and creates 4 unique and distinct cells. segragation of alleles occur too.


What determines which allele of each pair goes into a gamete?

The process of allele segregation during gamete formation is determined by the random assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. Homologous pairs of chromosomes separate independently, and each resulting gamete randomly receives one copy of each chromosome. This random assortment leads to the random segregation of alleles, determining which allele of each pair goes into a gamete.

What specifically separates during mitosis?

A cell splits in two, with each half getting half of the chromosomes.
