Question

a mother has the alleles bb for gene. what would be the genetic make of her gametes (eggs)? all of the gametes would be bb. half of the gametes would have b and the other half would have b.

Explanation:

Step1: Gamete formation

During meiosis, alleles segregate.
For a mother with genotype \( Bb \), the alleles \( B \) and \( b \) separate.

Step2: Gamete distribution

Each gamete gets one allele.
So, half of the gametes will have \( B \) and half will have \( b \).

Answer:

Half of the gametes would have \( B \) and the other half would have \( b \).
