The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the segregation of alleles and the chance of a gamete containing either allele, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Allele Segregation**: - Alleles are different forms of a gene that can exist at a specific locus on a chromosome. During gamete formation, alleles segregate randomly. 2. **Recognize the Random Nature of Segregation**: - The process of allele segregation is random, meaning that each gamete has an equal opportunity to receive either allele from a parent. 3. **Determine the Probability**: - Since there are two alleles (for example, T and t), and they segregate randomly, the chance of a gamete containing either allele is equal. - This results in a probability of 50% for each allele. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the answer to the question is that there is a **50% chance** of a gamete containing either allele. ### Final Answer: The segregation of alleles is a random process and so there is a **50% chance** of a gamete containing either allele. ---

Assertion :- The segregation of alleles in a random process and so there is a 50% chance of a gamete containing either allele. Reason :- By the process of mitosis, the alleles of the parental pair separtes from each other & only one allele in transmitted to a gamete.

In duroc jersy hog, the coat colour is dependant on two pairs of alleles, R and r and S and s. Any genotype containing at least on R-gene and at least one S-gene results in red coat colour. The double recessive genotype results in white coat colour. All other genotype results sandy coat colour.

An insulting container of volume 2V_(0) is divided in two equal parts by a diathermic (conducting) fixed piston. The left part contains one mole of monoatomic ideal gas whereas right part contains two moles of the same gas. Initial pressue on each side is P_(0) . The system is left for sufficient time so that a steady state is reached. Find (a) the work done by the gas in the left part during the process, (b) initial temperature in the two sides, (c) the final common temperature reached by the gases, (d) the heat given to the gas in the right part and (e) the increase in the internal energy of the gas in the left part.

An adiabatic vessel of total volume V is divided into two equal parts by a conducting separator. The separator is fixed in this position. The part on the left contains one mole of an ideal gas (U=1.5 nRT) and the part on the right contains two moles of the same gas. initially, the pressure on each side is p. the system is left for sufficient time so that a steady state is reached. find (a) the work done by the gas in the left part during the process, (b) the temperature on the two sides in the beginning, (c ) the final common temperature reached by the gases, (d) the heat given to the gas in the right part and (e) the increase in the internal energy of the gas in the left part.
