When a loop forms in a chromatid during meiosis, what type of chromosome mutation can result?

What is the probability that two parents of normal height will have a child with achondroplasia?

The phenotype of vestigial (short) wings (vg) in Drosophila melanogaster is caused by a recessive mutant gene that independently assorts with a recessive gene for hairy (h ) body. Assume that a cross is made between a fly with normal wings (homozygous) and a hairy body and a fly with vestigial wings and normal body hair (homozygous). The wild-type F1 flies were crossed among each other to produce 1024 offspring. What is the genotype of the fly with the normal wings and hairy body?

A recessive allele is one that: 

The separation of each set of homologous chromosomes is an independent event. This is Mendel’s Principle of:

If non-disjunction occurred during meiosis II, what would be the possible outcomes for the gametes? 

Which of the following is an evolutionary advantage of asexual reproduction?

If non-disjunction occurred during meiosis I, what would be the possible outcomes for the gametes?

The failure of chromosomes to separate normally during meiosis is called:

The particular alleles an individual has is their _____________.
