Refer to the information and figure below to answer the following question(s).
A certain (hypothetical)organism is diploid,has either blue or orange wings as the consequence of one of its genes on chromosome 12,and has either long or short antennae as the result of a second gene on chromosome 19,as shown in the figure.

-A female with a paternal set of one orange and one long gene chromosome and a maternal set comprised of one blue and one short gene chromosome is expected to produce which of the following types of eggs after meiosis?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate and independent assortment of genes occur. Therefore, the female in question would produce haploid eggs with one chromosome from each homologous pair. This means that each egg has a 1/2 chance of receiving either the maternal chromosome with the blue and short gene or the paternal chromosome with the orange and long gene. Therefore, each egg has a 1/4 chance of having each of the four possible combinations: blue long, blue short, orange long, or orange short.
