Question

Suppose you are heterozygous for two genes that are located on different chromosomes. You carry alleles A and a for one gene and alleles B and b for the other. Draw a diagram illustrating what happens to these genes and alleles when meiosis occurs in your reproductive tissues.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So in today's video we need to analyze the following figure which shows the gametes produced by an organism for two genes need to depict the status of these genes and I want you to just realize something very important when we're depicting the status of these genes. We're talking about the organism. So we're only going to be focusing on this area of the graph. We're not going to be looking at the gametes because we're talking about the jeans here at the beginning as we see them. So now that we know that let's look at how many A leo's each gene has in terms of the organism. So now Gene one has to leo's this name, A leo A and B. O. B. If we look at the organism, A leo A. Is present here and Olio B. Is also present. So the organism has both a leo's and it's an organism that is A. B. So it's genotype is going to be a B. Because of this. It is going to be heterosexual for Gene One. And then we have gene too. And something very similar happens. Let's say that this is a little C. And L. E. O. D. A. Leo C. Is present here. And Olio di is also present here. The organism is going to have a genotype that is C. V. And is also going to be heterocyclic. So looking at these, both Gene one and two are going to be heterosexuals and this is reflected by answer choice C. So we're going to highlight it as a final answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you, and I hope to see you on the next one.
