If the male parent cell is heterozygous for a trait, Tt, What alleles could the sperm cells possibly have?

Respuesta :

The sperm cell could have a dominant and recessive trait.

During gametes production, alleles separate. One of the sperm cells has a T dominant allele and the other one has a t recessive allele.

How are gametes formed?

Gametes are formed during meiosis.

Meiosis is a cell division process that produces gametes from germ cells. Through Meiosis, a diploid cell (2n) produces four haploid daughter cells (n).

According to the segregation principle, alleles separate independently during gametes formation. In anaphase I, homologous chromosomes separate, and each of them migrate to the opposite poles of the cell carrying one of the alleles. This random event leads to different chromosomal combinations in the daughter cells.

If the male parent is Tt, two types of gametes will be produced, one of them carrying the T dominant allele, and the ther one carrying the t recessive allele.

Parental) Tt

Gametes) T   and   t
