Question

Which is true concerning genes that are located on different chromosome pairs?

They are sex-linked.

They will sort independently.

They will appear together in gametes.

They are identified as being linked.

Answer 1

Which one do you think it is?

Answer 2

i think itssss... they will sort independently

Answer 3

That's right!

Answer 4

but then again, couldnt it also be they will appear together on gametes

Answer 5

because since they're on different chromosomes, they could end up in the same gamete

Answer 6

btw, thank you so much for replying so quickly, its my first time on this website and that was awesome

Answer 7

It's possible they could end up in the same gamete, but not nearly as likely as if they were on the same chromosome.

Answer 8

Independent assortment means that just because one of them ends up in a particular gamete does not control or affect whether or not the other will.

Answer 9

cool thanks, is there any way to reward you other tan giving best response?

Answer 10

My pleasure. You can become fans of people but it's really not necessary.

Answer 11

if i have another question, should i post it here, or should i close this question and start another?

Answer 12

We can keep going here, but it might be a better idea to put each one separate. My internet isn't the best and if I have to go, you are more likely to get someone else to chime in and help.

Answer 13

ok, here's one other: Which is the simplest complete summary of gametogenesis?

2n→1n

2n→4n→2n→1n

1n→2n→4n

1n→2n

Answer 14

its ok if you can't help

Answer 15

i wanna say the first one (2n -> n)
but couldn't it be the second

Answer 16

I believe the first one. The question does say summary. Also, we don't consider the cell to be 4N when the chromosomes duplicate. Each duplicated chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids, but they are not considered separate chromosomes until they undergo meiosis and end up in different cells.

Answer 17

Plus at the end of the first of the two divisions of meiosis you don't have 2N cells, you have 1N cells, but their chromosomes are still in the duplicated condition of two sister chromatids.

Answer 18

It depends on whether or not your teacher really knows their genetics.

Answer 19

haha ok, ill go with 2n to n

Answer 20

thank you!
