Aparticular ant species has four pairs of chromosomes. identify the genetic possibilities from independent assortment of a gamete.

Here, no of pairs of chromosomes in ant = 4.  

Now during the gametogenesis, each pair of chromosome will get separated in one gamete each.  

So, number of unpaired chromosomes = 4 unpaired chromosomes.  

The gametes are now haploid, i.e. Without paired chromosomes.  

Now, only 1 of the one pair of chromosomes will be carried inside a gamete,

Lets assume, the gene present in the cell chromosomes is heterozygote  

So,  there will be 2 possibilities.  

So, their probability will result as possibilities.

Then for 4 chromosomes would be chromosomes.

The total number of possibilities for four chromosomes would be 4^4 = 256 possibilities in the gamete or offspring.

Explanation:

Given,

Organism – Ant species

Number of chromosomes = 4 pairs

Genetic possibility due to independent assortment = ?

Solution:

During the gamete formation, only one chromosome from a pair foes to the gamete as meiosis occurs. Therefore, the gamete will have only 4 chromosomes instead of 4 pairs. The gamete can get any of the two chromosome from a pair and thus, it has 2X2 = 4 possibilities.

Therefore, total number of possibilities for four chromosomes would be 4^4 = 256 possibilities in the gamete or offspring.

equal distribution i think.

the most common energy conversion is from kinetic energy to potential energy, and then from potential energy to kinetic energy.

later on comes the heat energy, mechanical energy, and other energy conversions.

this energy conversion is so common that we can find it in our day to day lives as well.

- one of the most common energy conversions involves the changing of potential energy to kinetic energy or kinetic energy to potential energy
