Pea plants that Mendel used have 7 pairs of chromosomes, 14 in total. The number of possible gamete genotype that the pea plants can produce solely via independent assortment is 2 to the power of 14. Question 4 options: TrueFalse
Added by Kevin M.
Step 1
Independent assortment refers to the way in which different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop. In diploid organisms, this means that each pair of chromosomes can segregate independently during meiosis. Show more…
