Explain how crossing over and independent assortment both increase genetic variety in offspring.
Crossing over:
Creates recombinant chromosomes in non-sister chromatids during prophase I. Each gamete will give a mix of paternal and maternal traits
Independent assortment:
Swaps positions of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I. Each gamete will hold a mixture of paternal and maternal chromosomes (some of which will be recombinants)

Excessive UV exposure (e.g., from the sun) can cause changes in methylation patterns in the DNA of skin cells, in addition to triggering the release of melanin.
These methylation changes can then be passed down to future daughter cells, when they eventually divide by mitosis.
Give the term that best describes epigenetic changes being passed down in mitotic daughter cells, but not in gametes.

a) before Metaphase I
b) after cytokinesis II (end of Meiosis II)
a) 92 chromatids
b) 23 chromatids

Skin tone is thought to be determined by two types of the pigment melanin: Eumelanin and Pheomelanin.
Eumelanin is responsible for darker tones (e.g., black-ish, brown-ish colours), whereas pheomelanin is responsible for lighter, red-ish, pink-ish, or yellow-ish colours)
Examples of some (there's so many) of the alleles and phenotypes are below:
TB - Black pigment
Tb - Brown pigment
Tr - Red pigment
Ta - Yellow pigment
Tp - Beige pigment
t - Pale beige pigment
Possible Phenotypes (non-exhaustive list)
TBTb, TBTr, TBt - Black skin
TbTb - Chestnut Brown skin
TbTr - Mahogany Brown skin
TpTb - Dark Beige skin
a) What is the dominance pattern between Black pigment and Pale Beige pigment?
b) What is the dominance pattern between red pigment and yellow pigment?
a) Complete Dominance
b) Incomplete Dominance
