Table 5.3: A Comparison between the Behaviour of Chromosomes
and Genes
A
B
Occur in pairs
Occur in pairs
Segregate at the time of gamete Segregate at gamete formation and only
formation such that only one of each one of each pair is transmitted to a
pair is transmitted to a gamete gamete
Independent pairs segregate One pair segregates independently of
independently of each other
another pair
Can you tell which of these columns A or B represent the chromosome
and which represents the gene? How did you decide?

Answer:
Three similarities that were seen between the behavior of genes and inheritance of the chromosomes are as follows:
Three similarities that were seen between the behavior of genes and inheritance of the chromosomes are as follows:1. Like the heredity traits, the chromosome retains their number, structure, and individuality throughout the life of the organism and from generation to generation. They do not get mixed up and behave as single units.

Bith chromosomes and genes occur in pairs in the somatic and diploid cells, Both the chromosomes, as well as genes, gets segregated at the time of gamete formation such that only one of each pair is transmitted to a gamete.

The paired condition of both the chromosomes as well as Mendelian factors is restored during fertilization.
