7. Mendel\'s Principle of Segregation states that the alleles of a gene will separate from one another during the formation of gametes. Consider the genotype Aa. If crossing-over does not occur, when specifically will these alleles separate? a. Mitosis or Meiosis I b. Mitosis and Meiosis II c. Meiosis I or Meiosis II d. Meiosis I e. Meiosis II 8. A student is studying 5 unlinked genes (referred to simply as gene 1, gene 2, gene 3, gene 4 and gene 5. The alleles of gene 1 are represented as A and a; the alleles for gene 2 are represented with the letters B and b; the alleles of gene 3 are Cand c, and so on. An individual has the genotype Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee. How many allele combinations can be made with the genotype? 2 a. b. 5 c. 10 d. 20 e. 32 Solution 7. (e) The alleles separate in the second part of meiosis, and form hapliod gametes. 8. (e) 32, Here n=5 so 2^5=32 1. (b) There are two non homologous chromosomes present. Each set of chromosome has one chromosome from each parent..
