  1. What is the condition for
    Mendel’s second law to be
    valid?


Mendel’s second law is ogenes located in different chromnly valid forosomes. (^)
For genes situated in chromosome, i.e., linkthe sameed genes (genes (^)
in linkage) the law is not valid since the
segregation oindependent.f these genes is not



  1. According to Mendel’s
    second law, in the crossing
    between homozygous
    individuals concerning two
    pairs of nonlinked alleles,
    AABB x aaBB, what are the
    genotypical and phenotypical
    proportions in F1 and F2?


Parental genotypes: AABB,Gametes from the parental generation: aaBB. (^)
Ab and aB. ThAaBb gametes (aus F1 will prnd the phenotypicalesent 100%
correspondent form).
As F1 arfrom their crossing can e AaBb individuals thbe: AB, Ab, e gametesaB
and ab. The casual combination ogametes forms the following genotypicalf these (^)
forms: one AABB, two AABb, two AaBb,
four AaBB, one Aabb, one Aabb, oneaaBB, two aaBb and two aabb. The
phenotypical proportion then would be:
nine AB (double dominant); Abb (dominant for the first pair,three
recessive fo(recessive for the second); thrr the first pair, dominantee aaB

for the second); one aabb (double
recessive).



  1. Considering independent
    segregation of all factors, how
    many types of gametes does a
    VvXXWwYyzz individual
    produce? What is the formula
    to determinate such number?
    The mentioned individual will produce


eight different typ(attention, gametes anes of gametesd not zygotes). (^)
To determine the number of different
gametes pgenotype the number of heterezygousroduced by a given multiple (^)
pairs is counted (in the mentioned case,three) and the result is placed as an
exponent of two (in the example, 2^3 =
8).



  1. How is it possible to
    obtain the probability of
    emergence of a given
    genotype formed of more than
    one pair of different alleles
    with independent segregation
    from the knowledge of the
    parental genotypes?
    Taking as eAaBbCc with aaBBCc,xample the crossing o for each f
    considered pair of allele verify which genotypes it can fit is possible orm (asto
    in an independent analysis) and in
    which prBb x BB: BB, Bb (oportion. AA x aa: 1:1). Cc x Aa, aa (1:1).Cc: CC, Cc,
    cc (1:2:1). The genotype to which the


probabilityexample aaBbcc. is to b For each pair of thise determined is for (^)
genotype the formation determined: to aa, 0.5; to Bb, probability is0.5; to (^)
cc, 0.25. The final result is obtained by
multiplicationprobabilities, 0.5 x 0.5 of these partialx, 0.5, r (^) esulting
0.0625.
