During sexual reproduction, cellular organelles containing genetic material do not undergo Mendelian segregation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During sexual reproduction, genetic material from both parents combine and undergo various forms of recombination, resulting in new combinations and variations in the offspring. This process of genetic mixing is not the same as Mendelian segregation, which refers to the independent sorting of alleles (variants of genes) during meiosis in a parent that are then passed on to offspring in predictable ratios.
