<div class="IPBDescription">A genetics question</div> For experts in Biology....
If two linked genes are on the same chromosome (say AaBb), does the Law of Independent Assortment hold true?
If so, how does it?
question explaination in greater detail: in meiosis, the gene will duplicate, so there will be two sets of the genes. (AaBb and AaBb) When the cell splits, there will be two AaBb in each chromosomee. If Chromosome U has AB and Chromosome V has ab, is it possible for the resulting gamete to have Ab or aB on one of its chromosomes? Or if U has aB and V has Ab, can AB or ab result?
[I hope this makes sense.]
