For an individual who is heterozygous for two genes, Aa and Bb, what does independent assortment predict? Offspring inheriting the recessive allele (a) of the first gene will inherit the dominant allele (B) of the second gene. Offspring inheriting the dominant allele (A) of the first gene will also inherit the dominant (B) allele of the second gene. Offspring inheriting the dominant (A) allele of the first gene are equally likely to inherit either the dominant (B) or the recessive (b) allele of the second gene.

For an individual who is heterozygous for two genes, Aa and Bb, what does independent assortment predict? Offspring inheriting the recessive allele

of the first gene will also inherit the dominant

Explanation:

Aa x Bb= AB, Ab, aB and ab

so the first gene will also inherit the dominant gene

ans.

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).

not necessarily. higher fitness requires the organism to be reproductive successful. for example, an organism at age 10 with 15 offspring is much more fit than an organism at age 15 with only 5 offspring.
