B - one pair segregates independently of another pair

Which out of A and B represents the chromosome and which represents the gene ?

Answer 1

A - independent pairs segregate independently of each other

B - one pair segregates independently of another pair

Which out of A and B represents the chromosome and which represents the gene ?

Ans:

A is the chromosome.

B is the gene.

Reason: the total component and arrangements of gene is called genome. It can be stored in one or more than one chromosome.

Answer 2

As per the theory of chromosome inheritance both A and B  chromosome pairs will segregate independently.

• A represents the gene and B represents the chromosomes.
• Every genes is at a different location on the chromosome and the position of a gene is known as the locus of the gene.
• Mendel 's assumption of the Dihybrid Crosses and the Independent Sorting Theory is that each pair of genes segregate independently when gametes are created
