Question 1

Mendel’s first law of segregation

Answer 1

One allele of each gene ends up in each new gamete formed as the alleles segregate from each other

Question 2

Mendel’s second law of independent assortment

Answer 2

Only true for unlinked genes. Alleles of different genes (on different chromosomes) assort independently of one another

Question 3

Meiosis 1 is when

Answer 3

Homologous chromosomes segregate

Question 4

Meiosis 2 is when

Answer 4

Sister chromatids segregate

Question 5

Linkage disequilibrium is

Answer 5

Occurrence in a population of 2 linked alleles together more often than chance would dictate

Question 6

Synapsis (or syndesis)

Answer 6

pairing of 2 homologous chromosomes during meiosis

Question 7

Homologous chromosome pairing facilitated by? 3/4 points

Answer 7

Meiotic recombination, chiasma formation. Synaptonemal complex zipper. Rabl and bouquet clustering

Question 8

Bouquet formation is

Answer 8

Telomere clustering in early meiotic prophase (at the inner surface of the nuclear envelope proximal to the spindle pole body) important for pairing

Question 9

Rabl

Answer 9

Centromere clustering, important for pairing in meiosis
