Binomial Equation and Dihybrid Cross

Question 1

Do different alleles affect each other

Answer 1

No, each allele probability is independent of one another

Question 2

What is Mendel’s Principle of Independent Assortment

Answer 2

Alleles on different pairs of chromosomes assort independently from one another

Question 3

Where does “Mendel’s Principle of Independent Assortment” occur

Answer 3

Occurs during anaphase I of the meiotic cycle

Question 3

What are the possible gametes from a AaBb parent

Answer 3

Possible gametes from 1 parent: aB, AB, ab, Ab

Question 4

If you see “AND” which rule do you use

Answer 4

If you see “AND” use multiplicative rule

Question 5

If you see “OR” which rule do you use

Answer 5

If you see “OR” use additive rule

Question 6

Explain: Multiplication rule

Answer 6

A and B are independent probability of occurring together is product of their individual probabilities

Question 7

Explain: Addition rule

Answer 7

A and B are independent probabilities that don’t overlap, probability at least one of them occurs is sum of individual probabilities
