Question

a woman is heterozygous for a cf - associated gene (the alleles are represented here by the letters a and a). assuming that meiosis occurs normally, which of these represents eggs that she can produce?

• aa
• a
• either a or a
• aa or aa
• a

Explanation:

Step1: Understand heterozygous

A heterozygous individual has two different alleles (Aa).

Step2: Recall meiosis

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate. Each egg (gamete) gets one allele.
So, the woman (Aa) can produce eggs with either A or a allele.

Answer:

C. either A or a
