  • Gamete Formation with the Aa Genotype: Understanding Allele Segregation
    An individual with the genotype Aa can form two different gametes:

    * A: This gamete carries the dominant allele "A".

    * a: This gamete carries the recessive allele "a".

    This is due to the principle of segregation in meiosis. During meiosis, homologous chromosomes (in this case, one carrying the "A" allele and the other carrying the "a" allele) separate, ensuring that each gamete receives only one copy of each gene.
