Answer: Two recessive genes

Explanation: Every trait is controlled by at least a pair of gene, one inherited from the mother and the other inherited from the father. A recessive gene is a gene whose effect is masked by a dominant gene. A recessive gene lacks the ability to express itself in the presence of a dominant gene. For a recessive gene to manifest outwardly, it must occur in a homozygous state that is the individual must inherit two copies of the gene from its parents, one from the mother and one from the father.

Mendel's law of independent assortment states that which allele is passed down to the next generation at one locus is dependent

dlinn [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Mendel's law of independent assortment is about the random distribution of alleles of one gene during anaphase-I. It states that alleles of two or more genes segregate randomly to the poles of the cell. For example, the segregation of R and r alleles to the two poles of the cell would not affect the segregation of the T and t alleles. This random and independent segregation of alleles of different genes during anaphase-I produces new gene combinations in the progeny.
