What kind of a process is the segregation of alleles during meiosis?(a) Uniform(b) Gaussian(c) Stochastic(d) PoissonThis question was posed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.This intriguing question comes from Inheritance of One Gene-2 topic in chapter Principles of Inheritance and Variation of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

Right answer is (c) Stochastic

Easy explanation: SEGREGATION of alleles leads to each gamete having only a SINGLE allele at the end of meiosis. This process is purely random or stochastic. THUS, the PROBABILITY of a gamete having either alleles is 50%.
