Answer Posted / jica

meiosis
-the cellular process that results in the no. of chromosomes in gamete-producing cells being reduced to one half and that involves a reduction division in which one of each pair of homologous chromosomes passes to each daughter cell and in mitotic division.
mitosis
-a process that takes place in the nucleus of a dividing cell involves typically a series of steps consisting of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis and results in the formation of two new nuclei each having the same no. of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.

In hogs a gene that produces a white belt around the animal's body is dominant over its allele for a uniform body. Another independent dominant gene produces fusion of the hoof (syndactyly). Suppose a uniformly colored hog homozygous for syndactyly is mated with a normal footed hog homozygous for the belted character. What would be the phenotype of the F1? If the F1's interbreed, what would be the phenotypic ratio of the F2?
