HSC 4555 Lecture Notes - Meiosis, Telophase, Cytokinesis
Document Summary
_involves crossing unknown genotype (shows dominant phenotype) with recessive homozygous phenotype. _two possible genotypes for unknown give different phenotypic ratios in f1. _if unknown homozygous dominant-all offspring have dominant phenotype. _if unknown is heterozygous ( carrier) - 1/2 offspring dominant, 1/2 offspring recessive. _mendel"s laws govern behavior of individual chromosome pairs and of multiple chromosome pairs during meiosis. _this translates into which genes ( alleles) for which traits end up in which gametes. _recall from meiosis that the pairs separate during meiosis. _the alleles for a trait separate (segregate) during meiosis 1. That occurs because the members of the homologous pair are pulled to opposite poles. The alleles for the trait are on each of the chromosomes of a pair being pulled to a pole. _thus at the end of telophase 1 and cytokinesis, when the homologs are in different cells: the cells are haploid and each contain only 1 of the 2 alleles from the original cell.
