Question

Which of Mendel's postulates do these families demonstrate? Select all that apply. Select all that apply. Unit factors exist in pairs. Unit factors assort independently of one another. Unit factors have dominance or recessiveness. Unit factors separate from each other during gamete formation.

Answer 1

Answer:

If the question is referring to Mendel's postulates, all options are correct

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel discovered that certain components he called UNIT FACTORS determine inheritance. This unit factors were later described to be genes in modern genetics. He discovered that an organism receives two forms of this unit factors from each parent, which he called ALLELES. In his experiments, he observed that one of the pair of alleles have the ability to mask the expression of its variant pair. He called the allele that masks, DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked, RECESSIVE allele.

During his cross experiment, he discovered that the alleles of a gene (unit factor) separates into gametes, he called this LAW OF SEGREGATION. He notably discovered in his cross involving two different characters that the segregation of the alleles of one gene into gametes does not influence the segregation of the alleles of the other gene. He termed this his LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT.
