Question
How do genes and chromosomes share similarity from the point of view of genetical studies?
Advertisements
Solution
Similarities between Chromosomes and Genes:
- Both occur in pairs.
- Both segregate at the time of gamete formation such that only one of each pair is transmitted to a gamete.
- Independent pairs segregate independently of each other in both.
