What according to Mendel's law of segregation what takes place during meiosis?

During meiosis, Mendel's law of segregation is observed as homologous chromosomes segregate from each other, resulting in each gamete receiving one allele for each gene. This process ensures genetic diversity among offspring as different combinations of alleles are passed on to the next generation.


Law stating that alleles separate independently of each other in gamete formation?

This principle is known as Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment, which states that the inheritance of one allele does not influence the inheritance of another allele for a different gene. It applies when genes are located on different chromosomes or are far apart on the same chromosome. It is one of the fundamental principles of genetics.


Is it true that mendel assumed that a dominant allele had masked the corresponding recessive allele in the f1 generation?

Yes, Gregor Mendel's principle of dominance stated that in the F1 generation, the dominant allele would mask the expression of the corresponding recessive allele. This means that only the dominant trait would be observed in the offspring.


What is an allele and what is a nasty allele?

Allele is word used by Mendel for counter parts of an elementon later called factor and renamed as gene e.g. T and t are alleles for a gene that controls height in pea plant .Nasty allele is not biological term .Note word elementon is technical term used by Mendel , it is not element used in Chemistry .


What term did Mendel use to describe a trait that emerged in the F1 generation?

Mendel used the term "dominant" to describe a trait that emerged in the F1 generation.

What allele combinations could a plant with green and wrinkled seeds produce in a gamete?

Ressive genes. Smooth seeds are dominant in the pea plants Mendel used in his experiments.


Which of Mendel's law states that an organism with two different alleles will express the one that is dominant?

Mendel's law of dominance states that in a heterozygous individual with two different alleles for a trait, only the dominant allele will be expressed, while the recessive allele will be masked.

Mendel called an individual that has one dominant allele and onerecessive allele for a trait a purebrwd?

yes


What the term factor mean in Mendel first law?

allele


What term did Mendel use to describe heterozygous pea plants?

The terms Mendel used to describe the heterozygous pea plant was the hybrid term....i hope that helped


What did Mendel mean by a dominant factor?

Mendel meant that a dominant factor is a gene that expresses its trait in an individual when present with the corresponding recessive gene. The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele in a heterozygous individual.


Which of Mendel's laws states that only one parental allele for each trait is included in a sex cell?

Mendel's law of segregation states that only one allele for each gene is passed into an organism's gametes. This means that each parent contributes one allele for a particular trait to their offspring.

When gregor mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant the F1 plant inherited what?

one tall allele and one short allele

Yes, Gregor Mendel's principle of dominance stated that in the F1 generation, the dominant allele would mask the expression of the corresponding recessive allele. This means that only the dominant trait would be observed in the offspring.


How many choices were there for each pea plant trait mendel examineed?

Mendel examined one trait at a time in his pea plant experiments. For each trait, he had two choices: the dominant allele and the recessive allele. Therefore, there were two choices for each pea plant trait that Mendel examined.
