Question

ndicates which of the following? The fact that all seven of the pea plant traits studied by Mendel obeyed the principle of independent assortment most probably indicates which of the following? Some traits obeyed the law of segregation and some did not. All of the genes controlling the traits were located on the same chromosome. None of the traits obeyed the law of segregation. All of the genes controlling the traits behaved as if they were located on different chromosomes.

Answer 1

Answer:

All of the genes controlling the traits behaved as if they were located on different chromosomes.

Explanation:

Mendel's experiments with pea plants lead to two principles:

• Law of segregation which states that the pair of alleles (for any trait) of each parent separate, meaning that one allele passes from father and another from mother  to an offspring.
• Law of independent assortment which states that different pairs of alleles (for different traits) are passed to offspring independently of each other (traits are located on different chromosomes).
