explain the law of independent assortment
with the help of monohybrid cross with a diagram
Answers
Answer:
The Law of Independent Assortment states that during a dihybrid cross (crossing of two pairs of traits), an assortment of each pair of traits is independent of the other. In other words, during gamete formation, one pair of trait segregates from another pair of traits independently.
Answer;
see diagram in text
Explanation:
the phenotypes are ;
yellow - wrinkled......9
yellow - round......3
green- wrinkled ........3
green- round.....1
9:3:3:1 - obtained from phenotype so called phenotypic ratios.
now it can be derived as a combination;
DOMINANT : RECESSIVE BECOMES 3:1
3 yellow: 1 green
3 round: 1 wrinkled
SO take dominant: 9 will be round yellow
3 be wrinkled yellow
3 are round green
now recessive[least] : 1 wrinkled green
this is according to diagram .
now coming to the law of independent assortment,
it states ''WHEN TWO PAIRS OF TRAITS ARE COMBINED IN A HYBRID, SEGREGATION OF ONE PAIR OF CHARACTERS IS INDEPENDENT OF THE OTHER PAIR OF CHARACTERS''.
MEANING: when two pairs of traits / characters [round,wrinkled/green,yellow] are combined [in punnett square] in a hybrid [which is already a superior plant] , segregation / seperation of one pair of them will not depend on other pairs i.e.,they will be independent in forming new characters.
