what is the Mendels law of independent assortment and define punnet square
Answers
Explanation:
Mendel's second law is also known as the law of independent assortment. It states that the alleles of one gene sort into gametes independently of the alleles of another gene. In dihybrid cross between two heterozygous plants having round yellow seeds (RrYy), four types of gametes (RY, Ry, rY, ry) are produced. Each of these segregates independent of each other, each having a frequency of 25% of the total gametes produced.
Answer:
Mendel's law of independent assortment states that the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another.
Explanation:
The Punnett square is a square diagram that is used to predict the genotypes of a particular cross or breeding experiment. It is named after Reginald C. Punnett, who devised the approach. The diagram is used by biologists to determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype.
