An individual who produces as much melanin as humanly possible has genotype MMLLNN. That person’s phenotype would be to have very dark skin, so brown as to almost appear black. MMLLNN During meiosis, the diploid (2n) genotype, MMLLNN, Is reduced to the haploid genotype. As the alleles are segregated from each other, the only possibility for the sperm or egg is MLN. MLN Go to Section: MLN Section 16-1 The union of one genetic halfcell, the sperm, with the other genetic half-cell, the egg, results in one genetically whole cell, the zygote MLN sperm + egg MLN fertilization Go to Section: MMLLNN zygote Add the alleles from the sperm (MLN) and the alleles from the egg (MLN) to determine the genotype of the zygote (and the new individual), (MMLLNN) ♀/♂ MLN Go to Section: MLN ♀/♂ MLN MLN MMLLNN The genotype of all the offspring, (1 out of 1, or 1/1), is MMLLNN, so all the offspring have the same phenotype—very dark skin. Go to Section: An individual who produces as little melanin as humanly possible has genotype mmllnn. That person’s phenotype would be to have very light skin, so as to appear so white that the pink of the blood shows through. mmllnn mln During meiosis, the diploid (2n) genotype, mmllnn, is reduced to the haploid genotype. As the alleles are segregated from each other, the only possibility for the sperm or egg is mln. Go to Section: mln Add the alleles from the sperm (mln) and the alleles from the egg (mln) to determine the genotype of the zygote (and the new individual) ♀/♂ mln Go to Section: mln ♀/♂ mln mln mmllnn The genotype of all the offspring, (1 out of 1, or 1/1), is mmllnn, so all the offspring have the same phenotype—very light skin. In both examples, when the very dark mate with the very dark and when the very light mate with the very light, the crosses result in no variation. What happens if the very dark mate with the very light?

In all three examples, when the very extreme mate with the very extreme, the crosses result in no variation. What happens if the medium-skinned mate with the medium skinned? Go to Section: MLN mln MLn mlN MmLlNn MlN mLn mLN Go to Section: Mln During meiosis, the diploid (2n) genotype, MmLlNn is reduced to the haploid genotype. As the alleles segregate and assort independently, maximum diversity results.
