Question
occasionally, a gamete is formed that contains both alleles of a gene instead of one. the result is the presence of three alleles of a gene after fertilization. which of mendel’s laws would this gamete violate, and when during meiosis would the gamete form? law of segregation, meiosis ii law of independent assortment, meiosis ii law of independent assortment, meiosis i law of segregation, meiosis i
Mendel's law of segregation states that alleles separate during gamete - formation. When a gamete has both alleles of a gene instead of one, it violates the law of segregation. Nondisjunction during meiosis II can cause a gamete to receive both sister chromatids (carrying the same alleles), resulting in a gamete with two alleles of a gene instead of one.
