After reading this article you will learn about the principle of independent assortment of genes. Independent assortment is defined as random distribution of alleles to the gametes that occurs when genes are located on different chromosomes. The distribution of one pair of alleles is independent of that of other genes located in non-homologous chromosomes. This principle, is as a matter [...]
After reading this article you will learn about the calculation of probability using binomial distribution. Binomial expansion is of great help in solving genetical problems related to probability. If there are 2 events with alternate independent events having probabilities p and q, then in n number of trials, the probabilities of various combinations of events is given by (p + [...]
After reading this article you will learn about the breeding methods in asexually propagated crops. Reproduction which does not involve the union of gametes is known as asexual reproduction. Reproduction in which sexual organs or related structures take part but fertilization does not occur, so that the resulting seed is vegetatively produced is known as apomixis. In those vegetatively propagated [...]
