Question
1. Which of the following can occur by the process of MITOSIS but not MEIOSIS?
a. haploid cells fuse to form diploid cells
b. haploid cells multiply into diplid cells
c. diploid cells form haploid cells
d. diploid cells multiply into dipoloid cells
2. PLEASE FILL IN THE FOLLOWING BLANKS:
In analyzing inheritance patterns in mammals, one ca use ______ to understand inheritance patterns for one gene on one chromosome, but one will need to use ____ to understand inheritance patterns for two genes on two different chromosomes.
FIRST BLANK:
a) Mendel's Third Law
b) Linkage analysis
c) the Law of Segregation
SECOND BLANK:
a) Mendel's Third Law
b) the Law of Independent Assortment
c) the Law of Segregation
Explanation / Answer
Q.1 - Option: D.
Diploid cells divide into diploid cells during mitosis. One cell divides into two and the chromosome number remains the same after mitotic cell division.
Whereas during Meiosis, a diploid cells divide into four haploid cells.
Q.2
Option C.
Law of segregation states that during gamete formation a pair of allele for a trait segregate independently. Eg. Tt is an heterozygous genotype for height. It segregate independently during gametes formation which leads to one gamete having "T" allele and the other other gamete having "t" allele.
Option B.
Law of independent assortment states that allelic pair of two or more gene which codes for different traits get separated and assorted independently during gametes formation.
