  1. Bi 2g,3a,3b Law of Independent Assortment

  2. Monohybrid cross • Some of Mendel’s experiments followed the inheritance of single traits • flower color • seed color • monohybrid crosses

  3. Dihybrid cross • Other of Mendel’s experiments followed the inheritance of 2 different traits • seed color andseed shape • dihybrid crosses Mendelwas working outmany of the genetic rules!

  4. YR YR yR Yr yr yr YyRr What’s going on here? • If genes are on different chromosomes… • how are they passed on to the gametes? • together or independently? Is it this? Or this? YyRr Which systemexplains the data?

  7. yellow green round wrinkled Mendel’s 2nd law of heredity Can you thinkof an exceptionto this? • Law of independent assortment • different genes separate into gametes independently • non-homologous chromosomes align independently • classes of gametes produced in equal amounts • YR = Yr = yR = yr • only true for genes on separate chromosomes or on the same chromosome YyRr Yr Yr yR yR YR YR yr yr 1 : 1 : 1 : 1

  8. Metaphase 1 Law of Independent Assortment • Which stage of meiosis creates the law of independent assortment? RememberMendel didn’teven know DNA—or genes—existed! EXCEPTION • If genes are on same chromosome & close together • will usually be inherited together • rarely crossover separately • “linked”
