Examine the model below showing a simplified version of meiosis. The letters represent alleles of a trait. Is this the only outcome of possible gamete allele combinations? Why or why not?


choice 1:Yes, because chromosomes can only lign up in one way in metaphase, leading to only one possibility of gene combinations

choice 2:Yes, because maternal chromosomes always line together and paternal chromosomes always align together

choice 3:No, because independent assortment can occur meaning homologous chromosomes line up randomly in the middle of the cell (sometimes mom is one one side, and sometimes dad is on that side)

choice 4:

No, because gametes should have multiple alleles for each gene (ex: RrYy)


PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY YOU PICKED IT SO I CAN UNDERSTAND IT =)


DONT ANSWER IF YOU DONT KNOW OR ELSE I WILL REPORT. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME SOME IDIOT JUST ANSWERED IT AND TOOK THE POINTs.
