Heredity
In a dihybrid mouse where one gene determines fur color (B=black, b=brown) and another gene determines ear size (E=large ears, e=small ears), what is the probability that a single gamete produced by a heterozygous parent (BbEe) will carry both recessive alleles?
If a species of plant has a diploid number of 12, how many different combinations of chromosomes can exist in the gametes due to independent assortment alone?
What role do synaptonemal complexes play in meiosis?
