Chapter 3, Problem 14QP

Summary Introduction

To predict: The gametes and proportion of gametes produced by a woman who is heterozygous for two genes.

Introduction: Law of segregation proposes that alternative forms of the genes that are known as alleles separate during the formation of gametes. These gametes get one of the alleles that constitute the gene. Thus, during the formation of the zygote, these independent gametes fuse together to provide the allele pair to the offspring.
