Question

103. Which of the following may not apply when the
Gene controlling two different traits are located on
the same chromosome?
(a) Law of segregation
(b) Incomplete dominance
(c) Law of dominance
(d) Law of independent assortment​

Answer 1

Answer:

law of independent assortment.......

Answer 2

When the Gene controlling two different traits are located on the same chromosome, (d) Law of independent assortment​ does not apply.

• Gregor Mendel’s law of dominance states that: “When the parents with pure, contrasting traits are crossed together, only one form of trait appears in the next generation. The hybrid off-springs will exhibit only the dominant trait in the phenotype.”
• Gregor Mendel’s law of segregation states that: “During the formation of gamete, each gene separates from each other so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene.”
• Gregor Mendel's law of independent assortment states that "the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another". That means, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.
• “Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a trait is not expressed completely over its paired allele.”
